I started attempting to quit drinking in 2009. It’s been a long long road with stretches of sobriety, but I kept failing over and over. I’m a month sober, now, and this is the first time I feel truly committed. I am attending aa for the first time, after years of saying I didn’t need it. The support group I’ve built in a month, so far is better than anything I’ve ever tried before. I have a sponsor and am starting to work the steps. Something about being in a room of women (i stick to the women’s meetings currently) who understand and accept me, has been pretty life changing. I wish you the best of luck.
