oh that sounds really hard, but good on you for reaching out.
Booze isn’t a problem for me, but it is for my partner. Although I did struggle massively when I was trying to quit smoking. As soon as something happened or stress builds up, it feels like a release to go back to those familiar habits.
But - two years sober is great. That’s a massive achievement.
What I do know about AUD is it’s really hard to beat it on your own so kudos for reaching out for support here. What things have helped you stay off the grog previously? Is there something you can start up again? My kid was struggling with the pokies big time and found GA really helpful - not sure if AA is something you’ve tried and found useful? There are some apps around now too. Whatever you do, I do know that the sooner you get help, the sooner you can start to recover.
But I mostly came here to say you are not alone. And it’s not a losing battle - it’s just a really fkn HARD battle.
