Pleased to hear you have gone to AA and reached out for help...i was one of the most stuboorn ones out there, prepared to go on till the very end...i would keep doing the same thing over and over again with a this time it will be different!
Geographicals were my specialty, move country, job etc and this will be it...after a few months drinking again...after about the fifth time of doing this it finally dawned on me that the next one probably wouldnt be successful either lol and thats when i reached out for help.
I honestly thought that through willpower i could beat alcohol, it took a long time to realise that the fight i was having was actually with myself and it was a fight i could never have won...
As they say in AA keep coming back and stick with the winners, i.e. the people who's sobriety that you would want for yourself:-)
