I think you fully have to stop drinking then the recovery will start drinking once in a while or on the weekend will not work I caught my 3rd dui that way you will go through withdrawals and then a lot of mental healing but you can do it if you really want it

For first time in a long time. I went to pick up dinner at our favorite Chinese restaurant and everyone was at the bar and tables full I got such an urge it was awful but I thought about everything I gained in sobriety and left with no issue. So I think it’s kinda like at that moment I wished I was a normal drinker but know that will never be. Gets upsetting sometimes but I am so good today. :pray::pray::pray::pray:
