Welcome to the family.
I can totally relate to your story, mine is very similar. I downloaded this app in early 2018 and while I put together some strings of sobriety, it wasn’t until later 2018 that I decided enough was enough and started doing the things those with longer sobriety was telling me to do. Been sober ever since, six years, nine months and two days.
one thing that helped me was Changing my Relationship with Alcohol. You can read my method/jouney there.
Stick around, this forum can change your life.
