Another year , another go at sobriety

Hi everyone. Im a 44 yr old Mom and I'm 12 days sober today. I've tried in the past to quit drinking with varying lengths of sobriety. My longest stretch was 2 yrs. then I relapsed and binge drank for several more years.
I'm back here and trying again.
I'm feeling very very tired and generally crappy today. Thought instead of wine I would come here for some support.
I hope to be an active member in the days, months and God willing years to come.
Thanks for reading!

Glad you're here and posting Mandy.

Have you devised a plan for your sobriety yet? If not, it's probably worth thinking about that soon. Dee's threads are good. This is one... https://www.soberrecovery.com/forums...y-plans-1.html (Psst...wanna know why I'm always recommending recovery plans?)

What are you adding in this time to give yourself a better fighting chance of sustaining your sobriety than last time? (After all, nothing changes if nothing changes!)

Wishing you all the best for your recovery and sobriety.
