Hi Nick
You'll find a lot of support here - and a few ideas too
There's many different approaches and methods of recovery around - here's some links to some of the main players...you may not be familiar with all of them:

I recommend you visit the Secular Connections forum if you think you may benefit from a non 12 step approach. AVRT is quite popular
Welcome aboard

Welcome Nick - you're not alone, we all understand what you're going through.
It took me many tries, but I finally stopped for good. SR gave me so much hope and encouragement that I finally stopped trying to control my drinking & gave it up completely. Please keep reading & posting. We want to help - don't give up.

Welcome Nick!
It can be hard to break the cycle once we're in it again. I got a lot of inspiration from this forum that helped me get motivated to stop drinking again after I relapsed. I think any kind of program or counseling can help, but the most important thing for me was making a commitment that I would do "whatever it takes" .......
Glad you're here - none of us can do this without support!
