I know I’ve relapsed. I’m stressed about what my current diagnosis might be, so I’ve started drinking again. I’m currently inebriated thinking the worst of the worst. I hope what’s wrong is a simple cure. But, what if it’s a life long battle? I’ve lost family to the same strife? How do I stay sober if I may may going through the same thing???

I’m trying. I’m just enduring trying times…if that makes sense. I feel like I’m failing everyone in my path of life…

Set small goals for yourself and focus on not failing yourself first, it makes it just a little easier and you’re able to say you’ve made a start 
if that makes sense

You stay sober by NOT drinking. There is nothing figure out, there is no other way.
Don’t drink and go to a meeting and get your up tell people what’s going on.
There is nothing any of us is going through or will face that another alcoholic hasn’t been through
There is nothing we will face or be going through that a drink will make better. NOTHING

You're here so that's a good start also you have the insight to know your addiction is a false sense of reality. That being said, when you have a craving pick up the phone and write to us about your feeling. Well help you ride out the craving 
that's my 2 cents hope you feel better

Jeff is right. A drink or drinking has zero, zip, zilch help in making ANYTHING in life better or moreso. But, as an alcoholic, i can't seem to get past that truth. I always think a drink will speed up time and when i wake up, everything will be perfect. No more craving, no more heartache from loss, no more anxiety, no more disappointment. But life always returns. I am working on living life on life's terms. It isn't easy. Hang in there.

Drinking is not going to change or help the outcome. All it will do is make any problems you have , worse. Never in the history of mankind, has anyone been successful because of drinking.
