Welcome to SR!
There were two major things that helped me to get, and stay sober. The first was in desperation I finally gave up and tried AA. The program was ok, but what really helped was the face to face fellowship of other people who were also battling with alcohol addiction. The second thing was I found this website, logged on virtually everyday, and joined a monthly sobriety group (August of 2009, in my case). I also downloaded and read a bunch of sobriety books from Amazon. That's what worked for me, and I will have 12 years of sobriety this spring.
