I don't think there's ever an easy time to quit Celicia 
Maybe you need to think about what you need to add to whatever you've been doing already.
Getting the right kind of support was vital for me. So was accepting that I needed to change my life.

Hey Celicia, this isn't my first time on the merry-go-round either. It's taken a handful of attempts for me to get her this time. I echo Dee's and Carol's statements, this time I went back to AA (used AA once before) and didn't mess around with finding a sponsor or getting into the 12 step program. That, coming here and my connection with a higher power has proved indispensable for my recovery. I wish you all the best and welcome to SR!

Welcome. I used to say "if you had my problems, you'd drink too". The truth is drinking didn't solve anything for me. It actually did just the opposite. It debilitated me from even being able to work on any solutions for the problems.
I know quitting is hard. For so long drinking is our solution and our friend when times are tough. I'm here to tell you that there is a better way. Keep coming to this site and checking in. We've all been there. Recovery has given me tools that allow me to not only "not drink", but show me ways to really address and solve my problems. The first step is putting some time between you and your last drink. It's just one day at a time. I'm sure you're heard this before, but it's true. We all stay sober one minute, hour, and day at a time.
Life is so much better today. Hang in there, and keep coming back!!
