I totally believe in starting over. Now that you have; what do you think you need to do that is different? Often people find support meetings, counseling, or treatment to be the necessary addition to a sober plan. For me I had to adopt the mantra of "I will not drink...no matter what". It brought times of being lonely, mad, sad, but it helped me stay sober. The longer I was sober, the easier it really did become. Use this site for support; vent away, ask questions, linger, read old posts, check out new posts. And I also suggest doing something for someone else.....that always makes me feel better.
