Hey Roz,

I've lost count of the number of times that I've tried to stop drinking only to relapse over the years. The important thing is to not get down on yourself, but to learn from the experience, pick yourself up and start over. I keep an online journal and it took me close to three years of trying to stop on my own before I formally sought treatment, then I relapsed almost immediately after my first stab at rehab. Finally wound up in the hospital and got serious. Even in my second rehab I had a couple of relapses until I finally "got" some semblance of a handle on recovery.

We're here to support you however we can.

ps. It's great to see you posting again.
