Addiction spits in the face of white-knuckle willpower sweetie. All alone....I don't think we are adequately armed. You will find tremendous support right here on this website.And there are many other recovery routes available. You will find you have tons in common with folks here. Addiction is a multi-trick pony but you will find people here who have been conned by all the tricks. You ask? You will get a multitude of answers and with likely more than one that will resonate with you.

I think find a good counsellor is brilliant. My therapist has been integral to my recovery...as has this forum and a lot of spiritual and recovery reading.

Cravings will come...they will sneak up a bite ya when you're not expecting sometimes. One of my first queries to myself (yes, I check in with me often) is..what's going on? Have you heard of H.A.L.T? Am I Hungry, Angry Lonely or Tired. That one has saved me a few times...as has posting BEFORE I pick up a drink.

Welcome.
