I was the same way. Hopeless. Until one day I was so desperate that I tried something different.

Up until that point, I tried the same technique of quitting over and over. It didn’t work the first time. It didn’t work the last time. So I talked to some people who had been as hopeless as me, but are sober now, and I agreed to stop trying it my way, and to give their way a try. And I haven’t had a drink since.

With the rooms of AA, a sponsor, and a higher power you WILL overcome. There are many before you that have. Surrender and the promises will come true.

Do not quit. Stay in the fight

The only thing holding me back was myself. The splinter is deep and barbed. Slow or fast, it must come out in order to heal. Drinking from 6yro was more like removing my spine, but the weight off of my back makes every moment after a blessing. We are all in it together.

Why do you feel that way? I never thought so either. Now 23 months sober. You need to work at this. It doesn’t just happen. Meetings, fellowship, recovery is very important. To be honest this sounds like a cop out. Please get into treatment in you need to. Your life is worth it. I am watching two people dying right now. Stage 4 cirrhosis. Lost a brother at 33 years brutal death. A friend bleed out in his car found dead on street. Just pray. Do this one day, one minute, one second and reach out. Make a network of people I. Recovery. Please. One friend dying now is 39 year old.

There is something wrong with all of us. It's a disease described well in the book Alcoholics Anonymous. But the is also a chapter called There Is A Solution, and thousands of meetings where millions of people are waiting to help you. All that was left was to use the spiritual tools laid at our feet. You can be miserable or maybe, just maybe, you can start a program of action.
