I have struggled for years. I’m a mom of 3 and find I turn to alcohol to let go. I want to be better. It’s so hard.

It is..Great job on taking this step. The hardest days I had sober I was under the pressure of raising my kids. Hit some online AA meetings. It helps a lot. Hang in there. One day at a time is all you have to commit to everyday, just for today. 
It is important to focus on building a support system and learning how to utilize constructive tools for coping in the beginning. Don't focus on the long stretch either. Just focus on and conquer one day at a time. Every day seems to come with it's own challenges so just remember your "why's" and remember you have a full community here to reach out to!
