Hello all. I'm a 56 year old male and have been struggling with alcohol since I've been young. It has cost me my family, life savings and most of my earthly belongings. I have a sponsor and have been to maybe 50 AA meetings in the last 10 years and I still haven't seen any kind of success. I've had periods of sobriety, maybe as long as 8 months but I guess being a dry drunk, it was inevitable I was going to drink again. My best motivation to stop right now is fear of being put back in jail, disappointing my sponsor and having to suffer severe withdrawal symptoms. This is my first post on here. Just looking for support from other drunks I suppose.
