there's no waste of time, sleepie. sometimes it takes alot of wrong answers to get to the right ones. it took me 13 years of relapsing before i got a single month of sobriety.
so don't feel bad. it takes what it takes. there will be a day when your desire to stay sober far outweighs your desire to get drunk and then this terrible obsession will be nothing more than a fleeting thought on a bad day.
hang in there
