Drank for almost 3 yrs. But now I'm sober over 11 yrs. It's hard but it can be done.

It can be done if you want it Kamm, and I know that you do.
And I know you know how.
Just do it.
Welcome back - and as you can see, you're one more of many members of this not so exclusive club. 3 years, 7 months for me, then 13 years on and off boozing. We all seem to have had that common denominator of taking that first drink that deep down we knew would end in disaster...
OK - step one: Forgive yourself and get to work doing whatever it takes to quit. We are here for you!
