Podcasts about addiction help open up your eyes too. There’s a lot of good ones:
Take care & never give up. You are a good person who deserves a safe, sober life where you can be your full self.

Keep trying because one of those times you will succeed. First part is actually realising and admitting out loud that drink is the evil enemy. Im the same. Lots of relapses. On day 7 now again and I am determined this is my sober journey this time! Besides hurting everyone else around me it’s for myself too! It’s just a poison in your body and makes you feel so bad, as well as all the bruises that you can’t remember and trying to remember where you hid the bottles 
. We can do this coz ill bet you have overcome so much more in your life and have so much to be proud of

Great outlook.
Hi, this community is a good place to reach out. My story is that 2 years ago i wrote a post or comment here, don’t remember, and one guy was texting with me here while i was struggling and coudn’t quit. He really supported me with kind words and shared his experience, told me about meetings. I was afraid to go to AA, but after his messages i gave it a try and it worked for me, not only to stay sober but to fix self-esteem, relationships, intellect and ability to live through any hard times. I wish you all the best, try the resouces, don’t blame yourself if you can’t quit all at once, keep reaching out, recovery communities help a lot.
