how long have I been on this site? Crawling back? Am I ******* doomed? It sure as hell feels that way. One year sober on many occasions and then I am back to the old vino. What a ******* nightmare. I mean, how does this cycle change? Im all good sober until 1 year later? ( all writings are done in a very calm voice. I am not angry or emotional. Just inquiring....no one really has the answer)
I have the answer for me. I can suggest it to you but only you can accept it as the answer for you.
It’s different for everyone, but several here have figured out some common things: acceptance of the problem is the first, then the second is making it the highest priority in your life; I.e. doing anything and everything you can to avoid drinking, until that becomes second nature.
That’s pretty much it.
