In my opinion, the majority of people who get sober get it by going to meetings, therapy, possible medications, getting a friend who knows what addiction/recovery is like, etc. all at the same time.

Any addiction is nasty as you well know. Play the odds in your favor, throw everything you can at it and try, try again. Don't give up!! My first drink of alcohol was when I was 15 and my last drink or drug was when I was at age 40. Now I'm 61. I tried over and over to quit but nothing stuck. Finally it did. Keep trying!!!
