Welcome Mike!
I tried and tried and couldn't stay sober on my own. Just when I was feeling totally helpless I "coincidentally" came upon this place. The support and inspiration here have helped turned my life around.
There are lots resources out there (AA, SMART recovery, AVRT, counselors, psych docs, rehab, to name a few). Most of us need something. You've already taken the first, and biggest, step though, by facing your problem and reaching out. Glad you're joining us!
