I'm going to gently (or a bit more directly) nudge you in all seriousness - please take to heart then put to action the wise words of less and dee and others who are advising you to change what you are doing.

Thinking, hoping, trying- all these passive verbs, if you will, have to be changed into choose, plan, do.

It's simple but not easy.

What can you do today to take you a step closer to sobriety, not staying where you are or worse, continuing to drink?

I always want to encourage hope- but the bottom line is we don't get infinite chances to get sober. You are alive and right on the cusp of a chance- take it.
