Welcome, coming on here is a great way to help you achieve that goal. Reach out when needed as someone is always here to help, reach out to others cause sometimes you find your pushing yourself through your own advice. I’m Mary and I’m a life long alcoholic with 128 days being AF. I made 5.5 yrs once and blew it. That was 10 yrs ago. I’m grateful for the 128 days. Addiction is horrible and not fair but you can do it. Good luck

Thank you for your replies, it means a lot in times like these and especially from people who understand the difficulties of that kind of a life. Can i even call it life ?

Welcome Milo and you are doing the right thing you are here. It is amazing sometimes how sharing one’s pain suffering and difficulties end up helping others and in full circle end up ultimately helping you. One day at a time and sometimes one minute at a time. Just keep coming back.

Hi Milo, I’m back here after a long (and unfortunately NOT dry spell), and I honestly think that one of my mistakes was that I stopped checking in here and being part of the community.
We can ALL do it.
If I may make a suggestion, a book that I (personal opinion, here) find very useful, is by Allen Carr, on how to stop drinking. Inexpensive, you can download it from Amazon… a great book
