The thing I learnt from my failed attempts to stop drinking was that I did not know how to stay stopped. I could stop, no problem, for hours, days, sometimes a week, even once a couple of months. But such spells were usually miserable, and I would find myself drinking again, often without any conscious thought.
On my own I could not break that cycle. I tried a number of things over time, like rehab, counselling, relocating, changing girlfriends (until no self respecting girl would have anything to do with me) new jobs (until I became unemployable). I did not try inspirational or self help books because I had the concentration span of a gnat and could not take anything in. I had a long list of failures. Of course what didn't work for me does sometimes work for others.
The point is I tried different things, each failure being a stepping stone to ultimate success. If you really want to move toward recovery, maybe you should do something different.
