Just wanted to pop in to say hello and welcome, Emma!
It can be done and SR has been a tremendous help to me. I am one year sober and SR has been my biggest support in my recovery. I was not a falling down drunk. I didn't drink every night and I didn't always drink too much. Friends and family were surprised when I told them I was no longer drinking. But I knew the effect it had on me and I got so tired of it. The obsessing, the shame, the trying to moderate. Blergh. Life is easier without it.
