Do I count Sugar Alcohol/Total Number of Carbs per Day

I followed keto for almost a year and did pretty good but have been struggling most of 2018….My question is: do you need to count sugar alcohol in your total carbs and also how many TOTAL not NET carbs should I be sticking to per day to lose weight…..And would sugar alcohol count in TOTAL carbs since you don’t absorb it….

Any information you could give me would be greatly appreciated….Thank you….
