Hi, my name is Aubrey and I’ve been struggling with alcohol for the last 20 years. The last 10 years, I’ve been trying to quit for good, with brief periods of sobriety here and there. The past couple years I couldn’t even stay AF for a day. I have been in AA twice over this 10 yr. period (each time only lasting about 6-7 months). I managed to stay AF for 2 years only because I was taking opiates prescribed by my doctor during that time (I realize now that doesn’t count as being sober).

The 2nd time I was forced to go to AA due to some legal trouble involving alcohol. I was no longer on the opiates, but was taking Xanax 1-2 times per day (still not completely sober).

The last few months I did manage to stay AF off and on for a few days or a few weeks, but kept picking up again (no longer on any pills for 4 years).

I started reading alot and looking at different theories on alcohol addiction.
I realize now that I can’t do this on my own, so I’m grateful to have found an accepting and supportive bunch of people (all doing their own type of program) to help each other succeed FOR GOOD!!
