Trying to stay sober has been a challenge. Feel like a failure each morning I wake up after a night of drinking. I dont drink nightly, but 2-3 nights a week. Besides attending meetings, any other advice on staying sober? What mental approaches have you found successful?

Staying busy, exercising and walking. Oh and going to bed early lol sounds stupid but stops me drinking
You’re not a failure, you’re in a fight that takes time to rewire both the body and the mind.
For me, changing my routine and cutting off “any and all decision windows”. Reaching out to someone before the urge gets to overwhelming, and planning nights differently. You’re here, and asking, which means this is what you want. Proud of you. Keep going.
