Welcome Back! Don't feel like a failure! You only fail when you quit trying!!

I, too, tried to quit drinking for several years (I've had been drinking steadily worse and worse for 26 years) - each time I would only make it about 3 days and then I'd be drunk again.

What changed for me was when I made the committment to NOT DRINK NO MATTER WHAT!!!

The only drink I had control over was the first one. After that - all bets were off.

Sure - being sober can be hard (especially in the beginning):

Remember: Being drunk is hard. Being sober is hard. Choose your hard!!

When you choose being sober you will be rewarded for all your hard work - imagine your wonderful life and all the potential that is there!!! Think about who you want to be and how you want your life to be - then take the first step and make it happen!

Keep coming back to SR - this is a awesome place!! And get more support in person if needed. You CAN do this!
