Hi and welcome Rosie,
Is 1968 your year of birth? If it is we’re of the same age 
My doc is alcohol, I think I admitted to myself I have problems with it when I was 30 years old or so. When I was in my 40’s I quit for 5 years, thought I was cured and discovered I was not.
Now back on the saddle again for more then 1 year.
What helped me?
Being here every day
Avoid alcohol related events in the first 3 months
Keep myself busy
Exploring new hobbies and people
Be honest to myself and others!
Hope to see you around often!
Good luck on your sober path.
