Welcome back, Pastcaring!
I think that stopping drinking is a bit different for each of us but there are also many common themes. IMHO, support from others is a critical piece of this. I also think that it helps to put in place a plan. Some have more difficulty than others. I had a very tough time but I'm finally getting there with lots of support.
For many, the early days are not easy but it does get easier with effort and time. Post often and let us support you. Really engaging in the process is crucial. Please consider joining the June 2015 newcomers' thread to share experiences with others who are just starting their journey.
I hope we'll see you around here a lot!
