Glad you're here
Hang in there.
Here's a thought:
Start now with a basic plan. It doesn't need to be that complicated.
It's not a "try" plan though.
It's, instead of drinking, I will go to AA.
Instead of drinking, I will call AA friend/sponsor.
....... post on SR
....... go for a walk
....... journal
....... read the Big Book
....... read recovery literature
...... etc
The first thing we have to get is the point of not drinking. Period.
We have to stop, then we have to figure out how to stay stopped. There are many different ways to that, and you can tailor your plan to fit you.

Read around the forums. There is AVRT, Lifering, Smart, all kinds of things.
Put as much as you can in your sobriety toolbox. add and subtract as you see fit to your own needs.
