This is my... fifth attempt at sobriety within the past year. Praying that this time will be the last.
I think the new cat will bid a great distraction to help take your mind off alcohol.
If you learned at least one lesson each time you attempted in the past and use them to your advantage then this time you should be much better equipped to do this.
