Trying again for the umpteenth time
I've been lurking for a long time but this is my first post.
I am trying to get sober, again. I've been struggling for the past few months. I managed to get sober for over a year a couple times in the past but then I feel complacent and start drinking again.
I've been honest with my doctor (he's been with me through my struggles for over a decade) and we've come up with this plan:
1. Get a sponsor and work the steps. I've been going to AA but haven't been doing the program or allowing anyone to keep me accountable.
2. Check in and post on this site every day.
3. Find a new therapist to help me with some non-addiction issues.
4. Work with a nutritionist/trainer recommended by my doctor to start treating my body right. In the past being physically healthy really helped me not want to drink.
Please wish me luck and I look forward to becoming an active participant.
