Back for the billionth time and thats okay
Hello everyone on these wonderful forums. I just wanted to humbly announce my hopefully final attempt at sobriety. I made this decision before New Year’s and I went out drinking with the intention for it to be my last. Of course I ended up doing drugs which leads me to the whole reason I need to quit drinking. My plan as of now is to get to an AA meeting by the end of this weekend. Get a sponsor even if to just go through the motions and meet new sober people at first. I have never been one for groups but at this point I’m willing to do whatever it takes. I have announced it to my closest friends and will be busying myself with my children my career and some sort of health and fitness journey LOL. I hope to share and be inspired here, thank you for reading.

Welcome back LLG 
I had to take drinking and drugging off the table, for good. No fine print, no get out of recovery free cards.
My relationship with alcohol was toxic. It always was.
I had to accept that - finally and once and for all - and govern myself and my life accordingly..
I wanted to be a sober responsible happy person and I had to accept that drinking was working against that.
The fear I had about leaving my old life behind was real - but the fear I hasd of never leaving that life was greater.
I hope you can make this time your time for permanent change - for yourself, and your family too.

you might want to take a read of the big book of AA to learn what the AA program of recovery is- to learn whats involved and what can materialize as a result of working the program:
