I just can’t put the bottle down no matter how many times I try

There is no magic cure. You’ve gotta want to never drink as badly as you want to when you do. Get honest with yourself, dig down inside and find the motivation to never pick up again. It’s possible but it’s gotta be a conscious choice on your part. Do it man, do it for one day. After you’ve made it past the first try again tomorrow.

I feel for you. I wanted to but couldn't do it before I ended up rock bottom in the ER.

If you don’t pick it up you don’t have to put it down.. “you can give up one thing …for everything.. or you can give up everything… for one thing…” it’s sometimes ..one sec .. one min..one hr…. one day at a time…

Nobody can tell you you're done David. Nobody could tell me. "Frothy emotional appeals...."

Get. Honest. With. Yourself.

Do you believe you are an alcoholic? Do you think you still have a shot at managing your alcohol?

"The idea that we can drink like other people has to be SMASHED."

If you still aren't convinced you are an alcoholic, there is nothing anyone can do to help you.

It has been my experience, that i cannot stay sober without doing the work.

I suffer from a lack of power.
When i drink, i have no control over how much or what i do.

I am defenseless against the first drink. I need a power greater than myself, to combat this foe, alcohol.

No matter how you read the book AA, it tells me its sole purpose in the very beginning: to help me find a power greater than myself - which at times will be the only thing standing between me and a drink

When you want sobriety bad enough you'll know it. It's a feeling ya get,atleast for me it was

I had go through multiple wrecked vehicles and a brush with death before it set in for me. Its really hard but hopefully you can find a good enough reason to quit for good.

I find it really helps if you can get active and find groups of people that all have a common interest that is not alcohol. I play pickup soccer and that is a great outlet for me. What is something you want to do or like to do that isn't alcohol related?
