Do you think you will go again? For most people, a concept called "Relational Accountability" helps build lasting sobriety and recovery. AA is an easy place to find this. I have a practical approach to recovery where AA is a valuable tool.

Good luck and keep going. It's rough early. Just remember that most all alcoholics die from something alcohol related. You are literally fighting for your life.

I have long sobriety but need meetings to personally review and take my inventories, as described in Step Ten; on a daily basis there will always be issues of self centered fear, resentments, etc. to be 'weeded out' and replaced with new faith and determination.
