WWG, I'm from new England originally, btw, so Go Pats!
The last time I tried to quit, I lasted about a month, then got drunk one night and kept on drinking for two more years. You, on the other hand, have come to SR, ready to do day 1 again. Fortunately there is no law that says if we "fail" we can't try again. So go for it! Day one tomorrow! You can do it! And stop hating yourself, that does no good. We don't hate you. The universe doesn't hate you. God doesn't hate you. Learn from what happened today and use it. And six days sober is great. No one but a daily alcoholic drinker can understand how bloody hard that is. And if football is a trigger, maybe you have to give up watching for a while? Or not allow yourself to watch unless you won't drink?
NA beer could help. Fom my personal experience, NA beer just makes me want a real one. I know that it's different for others, and that may work for you. Worth trying if you think it could help.
Good luck to you. You CAN do this!
