I was sober for 2 years, but for some reason the alcohol won again and got to me. Now, it seems like I can make it a month before I cave. It’s putting tremendous strain on my wonderful husband and I and it just needs to stop.
Any advise?

How did you stay sober for 2 years before? Having a sober community is a very large part of my sobriety. Continuing every single day to put work into sobriety helps me. I did sobriety podcasts, books, YouTube, and this place obsessively for my first year.

For me, I make sure I don’t forget I’m an alcoholic. Every day i make a mental plan with myself & the support of my HP on doing whatever it takes to stay the course. Meetings, healthy meals, activities and being around others like myself. I keep it simple or my broken brain will try to sell me BS.

Figure out what you think will be different the next time you drink, and accept the fact that if you drink, the end of the movie will remain the same.
Then change the part where you decide to drink again, and instead choose to say “no” to the drink that matters…the first drink.
