Dingo, we have to keep trying. For me I have to learn by what went wrong in the past. For me I have tried too many times to drink in moderation or to try giving up alone. I now realise that I need help and I can't drink in moderation.
I'm going to AA this Thursday, yes I too feel embarrassed and ashamed but I want to stop drinking. Knowing that you want to stop is the first step and this forum will give you lots of support and strategies. Good luck.
