I haven’t been able to go longer than 3 weeks without alcohol. I am trying to quit for good and nothing seems to get me there. Staying hopeful and taking things one day at a time.

Are you going to meetings? If not I suggest you do as it has helped me get to where I’m at.

Yeah, def try to hit some meetings. Women's meetings would be really helpful I'm sure. Just staying busy with positive, sober people. No need to do this alone.

90 meetings in 90 days can help get you through the first tough times. The cycle is tough to break but I did it with help from AA

Meetings meetings meetings... You can't do it alone. Get connected with like minded people who have the same struggles. You get drunk WE get sober. Trust me if there was another way I would have figured it out already. Meetings saved my life and they can save yours too.

I agree with the others but meetings alone won't keep you sober. It takes work beyond showing up to meetings. Immersing yourself in recovery is the way to go IMO. Whether that be AA, Dharma Recovery, SMART, etc. I like a mix of all of them personally, along with therapy, meds, meditation, and yoga. I've never felt better. If you haven't tried something, then try it, if that doesn't seem to help try something else. If you are persistent you'll find what works for you. Keep your head up. Put in the work and it will be worth it.

I would recommend going to 90 meetings in 90 days and at that time, if you don't feel the program is for you, we'll refund your misery.

Please go to meetings. I didn't know what to expect. I just wanted to not drink! I only found out by trying to stop on my own that I really couldn't stop. As many meetings as you can for a month is a good start

One day at a time!! Rome wasn’t built in a day. You’re stronger than alcohol, don’t forget that!!

Find a non-religious meeting.
Write in a journal, and follow a bunch of social media about sobriety. Literally every time I open my Instagram it’s a reminder not to drink. 
 I started noticing at day four of my brain was already less foggy.

I agree with you!! The same works and helps for me. Meetings mixed with lots of yoga!! Definitely finding the right meds have helped me find the core root of my addiction- depression. Now that I take med for it I'm obviously not super depressed and don't feel as strong of an urge to try to self medicate / use.
Also, volunteering is a huge part of my life. I volunteer with animals but there's lot of different organizations for any interest someone has!! It fills me with such joy to help animals and the community. Plus it fills up my time with positivity! During you sober journey you will discover yourself, what hobbies you like maybe try out some old hobbies you use to like doing too!
I will hope for you you deserve sobriety, love, and peace!! Take care ╰(✿´⌣`✿)╯:heart:
