Welcome! I can't speak for everyone but it seems to me that all the treatment in the world is meaningless without a sincere desire to stop. Not because of a court order, not due to legal problems nor ultimatums from loved ones, but because you're genuinely sick of being an addict and ready to change.

AVRT really helped me. You can google it as I'm not allowed to link it. It really pulled back the curtain and showed me fool behind it pulling the strings. Once I was able to identify that part of me that constitutes the Addictive Voice I was successful in changing my behavior. I drank heavily for 25 years but took my last drink about seven and half months ago.

Every day you're on the top side of the grass there's hope! If you're alive you can change your life for the better.
