I want to get back to where I used to be :-( I feel more than ever I have unfinished business as I never finished my ARCT (not ray but I am a coder)

I am an old 45 year old who last played the second last year of high school and learned the first movement of the Mendelsohn concerto and passed my Grade 10 violin with RCM. I flamed out so bad with the play with ray challenge. I didn't have a teacher. I tired to learn the notes like I remember my teacher telling me. I couldn't make it to tempo. Don't have intonation anymore. Is it possible for an old dog to relearn old tricks and how should I be practicing . I played the second part first movement from susuki book as a kid, slower, but can't keep up with you. Any practice tips? I can't learn it in a week. Couldn't learn it in 8 ish Any practice tips for apt? I have a mute on but still worried about getting kicked out and I can learn the notes but I can't learn the bowing arm properly cause I have to play soft all the time
I am willing to find a teacher but I have always spent more time trying to learn notes than work on the music
And is there hope for a 45 year old. I want to sound decent. Apparently I can't play anymore.
Love your playing. Hope to see you live one day.

I asked this question badly but I want to answer the same thing. I am hoping to get back something of what i was able to do before and finish things up
