It's me again

I'm Edward and an alcoholic. Having a bit of a time navigating the site. I tried getting sober in 1984. With the help of AA. It worked for around 14 of 15 months. I decided that I could manage my life without going to meetings. A long time ago. This summer after multiple blackouts and embarrassing all the people who love me I decided to get sober and stay sober. I am powerless and I can't do this any longer without help, your help.
In time I'll figure out how to use the site and tell more about what brought me here. Thanks for letting me share.
Edward, alcoholic

Edward,

We have all been there.

All the info you have from the past will help you succeed this time.

But you have to commit and accept completely, which is a hard thing to do, but so worth it.

Go for it.
