Welcome, Steven! I know all about multiple attempts, too. I've tried every which-way to drink reasonably and failed - I didn't accomplis a thing except to get myself in a worse state. Been to treatment a couple times too. I had to give up, finally, because I knew serious consequences and health issues were waiting on the doorstep. My life was miserable. Know I know that if I ever decide to test my sobriety again, there's a good chance it will end tragically.
I hope you'll check out the May Class of 2010 thread (in the Newcomer's Daily Support section). There's a bunch of us who are newly sober this month and are giving each other that extra bit of support/friendship that we need to get through the first days.
Congrats on Day 3!!!!!
