Felt the same way when I started AA - went round the block many times = methods to quit, white knuckle , antabuse etc. After all that I went back to AA.
Was sick and tired of being sick and tired......
I soon realized that meetings don't keep me sober. The Action of the steps got me sober and today helps me stay stopped.
I took the philosophy at meetings I would attempt to take away just one small thing every time I went. I figured if I did this simple thing, in 30 days I'd have 30 new things to help!
There are many ways, I love SR as well! SoberWolf found a great list of 50 tips - wonderful.
Just please remember this is your sobriety and we all must take ownership. AA , SR etc are your tools to build your sober dwelling!!!
Glad you posted, please keep doing it!
