New here

Hi! I am new here but not to drinking. 65 years old, been drinking since I was in my teens.
I have tried to quit drinking so many times I have lost count. I have had some success but never could keep it together for more than a couple of years.
So here I am again trying to quit. I am on day four today.
Thanks in advance for any help and support.

Good luck. Sixty is the new forty so many sober years ahead if you want it.

Welcome, anotretry! Please know you are never alone. I was older, too, when I quit for good - SR has been an important part of my recovery. We're glad you found us.

Hello and welcome.
Sounds like you put some pretty decent time in before. What did you do then?
I would suggest trying it again, or maybe something new.
You'll find a lot of support here, so stick around.

Welcome. Is your goal complete abstinence, or do you still need an occasional drink?
