General Discussion / Substance Abuse Help

I'm not sure where I should post this but I needed to get some advice and insight into this topic.
Quick overview, I was with someone for four years and that caused my CPTSD. I've been out of that situation for about 3.5 years now, but about 3 years ago I started drinking again, and then this past fall after another triggering relationship, would use other substances off and on.
I was sober for 5.5 years and it was never difficult to quit or stay sober, and now for the last three years I have found it nearly impossible to quit. I won't even want a drink and I will still find myself doing it especially when triggered etc. I have tried AA and working with a therapist but it hasn't been going well.
Does anyone have any advice or insight into what helped them if they faced similar difficulties?
Thank you.
