What’s your plan? Stopping drinking is the easy part, staying stopped takes a lot of hard work.

Welcome back @Clinnyb 
Getting sober is a good idea. You’re an alcoholic and that only leads to pain.
You’ve been on day 1 several times over the last three years. Something needs to change for it to stick.
Try going to a group, like www.AA.org, or one off the recovery programs listed here: Resources for our recovery. There are online ones too: Online meeting resources
Obviously part of you knows this is a problem, or you wouldn’t be here today. Another part of you is saying “oh it’s not that bad”. The second part is lying to you, but it’s easier to accept because it requires no work.
You need to change. It starts one day at a time, with commitment.
Keep us posted!

We all started at day 1.
If you want to quit you got this.
I drank and did alot of drugs behind everyone backs thinking no one knew but everyone did. I had no off switch to stop myself after one or two.
I drank for over 33 years and did drugs for 22 years. I’m married for 18 years and have a beautiful daughter of 12 years old. 
my brother, life will open up to you if you allow it to happen and we are all here to help.
Not one more drink, no matter WHAT
Repeat in your mind, forever
I’m clean for 15 months, never fell off the wagon
Do whatever it takes to get through the next 3 months.
I had to move out from my family and live with my parents so I could focus on myself after that the world is yours. One peace 
one love one inside my brother. One day at a time.
Don’t think about your past or else you will live in your thoughts only in the past, repeating what you know. Buy a bottle.
Live in the now, where you have control of your choices.
One day at a time…
Think about your future that is unwritten, repeating to people, NO its okay I don’t drink. And that’s okay.

Welcome to the community! I started by creating a new sober routine for myself and that set me up for success, along with spending a lot of time here.

I can’t find that particular one anywhere. I thought I saw it on Etsy. But it disappeared on my. Let me know if you find that one.
I know what your going through, I was a stoner for about a year, and today is day one of being sober, congrats on having the will to stop, for your family
