I have been here before. Unfortunately i have had to hit reset. Excited for sobriety again but I also nervous to screw up again. I am trying to go into this with a very hopeful and positive attitude. I am also going to start AA online. Then try to go in person. It is hard because I have a 1.5 year old. I am doing this for my family and myself. We all deserve this. I am trying to manage my family and sobriety. Any help is welcome. I can do this and have to

If you’re trying again, you’re going in the right direction. Build from there. One day at a time. Forget about what’s done, forget about “screwing up again” - control what’s in front of you for today. You can do this.

Many of us hit reset many times before it “stuck”. For me it was this community that made the difference. Having a place to go with just a few clicks. Just reading helped me at times. Reading about both successes and failures. Having a little one is very stressful. When cravings hit, think to yourself, “if I get sober now, they will never know me as NOT sober.”
Thanks, that is a big thing for me. I do not want my son to remember me that way. I love him too much and alcohol will surely push him away. I want to give him the best childhood I can.

First and foremost your sobriety needs to be for you. The person looking back at you in the mirror. But children can be a close second. Some will say God first, and I get that. But I am sharing my reality. Stay close…this community can really help. I’m in your corner.
