Currently im on ~20 months and using only SR again. I have much more resolve this time around, and am completely at peace with the decision. My wife and friends all know I "quit" drinking, but none of them truly understands the battle of addiction and how hard this journey is.
yes, i understand.
my concept of what "quitting alone" means is one of quitting without support from others in any form. hence my prior comment.
when joining and participating on a recovery forum, i am not quitting alone.
in my own case, i tried quitting alone many times, and could not.
Joining with others, mostly on the internet, was a huge change for me.
