but I suppose I need to work the program harder than I was previously.

Right on Chris. There is the fellowship and then there is the 12 steps. Understanding on step 1 is very critical. Un-manageability, if we dont address them, we are led back to that stinking thinking. Hence the rest of the steps to change the way we carried ourselves. Try to find a person that can help you understand the program of AA and lead you so you can have an attitude shift.

Yes I have attended AA quite a bit but I suppose I need to work the program harder than I was previously.

Welcome to the forum. Were you exposed to AA meetings at those facilities? If not, you may want to try to visit one of the local ones. I am sure in Canada there are AA meetings. I sobered up in Atlanta, GA about 12 years ago. I do had lot of relapses. I couldn't do it on my own. I had to understand what I was up against. The book Alcoholics Anonymous greatly helped me.

Hi there. I just joined. I am struggling quite hard with the relapses. I am just got over on earth last weekend which was 36 hours of non stop drinking which lead to 3 days of withdrawals. I am 32 and a chronic relapsed. I have been trying to quit completely for 3 years now and it's been tough. I have done 2 residential treatment programs and 2 outpatient programs. I just started a new job after losing my last one to alcohol. I just recently moved to Toronto since my family back home were contributing to my problem. I hope I can find something on here that will help. I am going to try and hit 5-7 as meetings a week as well.

Any other suggestions I am open to.

Thanks

Welcome Quitter1976,

I think many members here can relate to what you are going through. You are certainly not alone. How has your first week gone?

Hi there!

I can relate. This is my 2nd day doing this so I am not sure what to say, but I did want to tell you to keep going and dont give up. You are here, which is already a big step.
