Welcome Tete, I can relate to that feeling. I am determined not to give up, so I am trying to make smart choices every day. I have definitely struggled and stumbled, but not giving up.

welcome!!

This is a great resource and a great community, you'll find support here.

That said - I wonder from the tone of your post whether online will be sufficient.

I find that I need to use many 'tools' in my sobriety to keep on track.

Have you considered trying AA? Nothing to lose, your life to gain.

I've found it very helpful.

Welcome Tete! It's great to meet you.

I was drinking round the clock when I found SR. I had tried for many years to control the amounts I drank - so I wouldn't have to give it up. It was destroying me. There is life after alcohol - it does nothing for us. Keep posting and reading - we can help you make this big change.

Welcome to the family.

You're smart to want to quit drinking. It will only lead you to a bad end.

Hello, just start again and be aware of what might have gotten you to decide to pick up last time and try to do things differently. As long as we are breathing we still have a chance.

take care
