Lost and scared
Welcome, pattik! I'm older, too. The habits and the AV ( addicted voice) have had a lot of time to percolate for me. My recovery plan includes being in nature, walking daily, meditating, and making things. When I get out of balance, I stumble and waiver with my sobriety. So good to see you here. Dee always sends the link for recovery and action plans. Use it.

Here i go again...trying to stop drinking for what seems like the millionth time. I have all the faith and strength for about 3 days or so and fall back. This time I haven't been able to make it through day one. Been drinking all my life and I am 58. But the past few years have gotten worse. Where is my strength? I am so ashamed and weary. Looking for some answers and some help.

Hi pattik, you sound just like me! I can go for week without and then end up giving in to the AV. We can do this. I know that I'm fed up with the rubbish I'm putting myself through. No doubt you feel the same. One day at a time!

Good luck Pattik - I also have tried many times previously and failed. This time is massively different and I have got to 30 days and feel stronger, fitter and more determined than ever and probably for the first time after thoroughly reading SR realise just how important having a robust plan is. Never give up. Best of luck
