Hi ariel - welcome
I tried for about 15 years, on and off, to quit. Starting with good intentions each days and then 5 minutes later out the door to buy booze.
I quit in 2007 - the differences being this place, and a firm commitment from me to take drinking away as a viable option.
It was hard when every cell in me wanted to drink, but there's support here, I got through it, and it got easier
glad you found us
