I don't remember how feeling drunk feels but I'm wanting to drink. I met a girl and she's great but we haven't met in person yet. Lonely or am I curious...four years over here...over four years now?
Anyways hope every ones staying strong I find weekends are way harder for me.

I haven't where do you start is it a website
Keaton hang in there, brother. I’m sorry to hear you’re lonely, but we are all here to help each other. Don’t give up the fight you’re fighting. Don’t pick up the drink or the drug. Do you have any meetings near you? That you could go to???

Maybe? I'm new to this place I met this girl and wow man blew my mind...but I'm living with two seniors and feels like I'm babysitting. While trying to get my feet back on the ground. I'm appreciative its just a lot when you been through so much. And you have to continue to be strong for other people when yourself is on low .
Sounds like an alcoholic making excuses who is filled with fear, anxiety and self-pity. It's exactly how I felt and acted like in early sobriety. I had to get into AA, work the 12 steps, and build and develop a relationship with my Higher Power which I choose to call God. And trust me when I say that I didn't believe in God and felt like if there was a God, that It hated me!! My problem was I am an alcoholic, and my way of thinking is wrong. I always felt like the world, and everyone in it, owed me something. AA saved my life, and has done the same thing for millions of people worldwide. If you're an alcoholic like me, it might just change your life.

Interesting view. I think I believe in god but to be always thinking of him takes away of your personal life. So I think I'm trying to mend both my faith and my relationship and work. Its tough juggling all three. Especially when your starting over again
What do you think ?
If you haven't already begun to attend meetings I'd start there. Get a sponsor or counselor that can help you navigate a little. I never did jump back into dating. It can be tricky. Truly hoping you decided against picking up that drink.

Yes sir
My daily prayer, belief, and reliance upon a power greater than myself is more of a way of life. It involves taking the next right action put in my path, not picking up a drink NO MATTER WHAT, and being kind, caring, compassionate, and helpful at every opportunity I have. It wasn't a matter of having to juggle going to church, praying, etc etc etc. It did and does involve prayer, but for me it was those actions (like getting to a meeting even when I "didn't really feel like it" and being available and willing to help a newcomer) that truly changed my life.
