I have just decided to start stopping today. I have been wanting to stop for so long but haven’t. I’m scared I’ll let myself down

Tamara, lean on us. We got you! We were all scared in the beginning. Trust me, it gets so much better.
It’s definitely a challenging adjustment, but so worth it.
Go to meetings everyday, get a sponsor and do the steps. This will help you get and stay happily sober.
I’m here if you want to talk.

Relapsing is a part of recovery for most. All you have to do is be willing to stop and thats a start. Attend an open meeting and see how it goes. See if you can find a newcomers meeting they are very helpful in the beginning.

Yes, it certainly does. The only way you will let yourself down is by not trying until you succeed. Any other presumed "faikures" are only temporary and make the eventual success all the greater. Keep going till you get it right and then take note of what worked, wash, rinse, repeat!
