Fishin, I was fragile in the early days too. I'd counted on alcohol as my 'buffer' to see me through all life's ups & downs. I had to learn to live in a new way. I had to face things head on and deal with them instead of getting numb. After a few false starts I did it, and I never looked back. You will get there too! We're with you.

You can do this fishin. Like Dee says, acceptance is the key. Once you accept you shouldn't drink again then make the decision to not drink.
You should take a look into AVRT - do the crash course to start with. It's one method that works.

You can do this. It takes effort but is so worth it.
