I have been trying to get sober for a really long time and keep giving in to the craving. I really want to try being sober for long enough to have a real life. All help appreciated. Thank you.

Welcome to the forum, you can feel at home here and we are glad to have you. May I ask what you have tried in the past? It kind of helps us offer suggestions that worked for us.

Best wishes
Andrew

Welcome to SR!

The next time you feel like drinking alcohol what are you going to do?

Knowing the answer to that question really really helped me.

You can do this!

Welcome to SR!

Stick around, start reading everyday and post once in awhile. That really helped me.
