Last night I drank. It doesn’t matter how many times I tell myself “I will not drink tonight!” I end up doing it. I’m super disappointed in myself.

Have you looked into local treatment resources? It’s hard to quit on your own. You may need more support on your recovery journey. Another day is another day to try again.

I have not but I will do that today.
I’m googling AA places right now so when I get off work I’ll go
That would be great!

Have you tried writing down som positive affirmations. And sticking them some where u can see them daily. Like I am in control of my cravings and impulses.
I am stronger than my addiction.
I choose sobriety and health every day.
I can lead a fulfilling life without relying on substances

I agree with John. That's probably the best thing you can do. I couldn't stop without sober support. The best place to find it is at meetings

It's not easy. Be kind and forgive yourself. There's no limits on trying to stop drinking.

I tried for over 40 years to do it on my own and never succeeded. When I went to treatment and I got a sponsor and we went through the big book and the twelve steps things started to happen for me. I go to three meetings a week and I know that I have a disease of addiction now. Everything I'm doing now is my medicine and without it I will use again. That is a reallity for me now. It's like diabetes I will always be sick but as long as itake my medicine I can live a better life now. Good luck and I hope you find help like I did.Only you can ask for help but it's out there and it's free.I wish you the best.

You didn’t fail, you’re still trying. Every time you come back, you build a little more strength. Think about what brought you to that point and focus on the why. Maybe the why needs a little more attention or healing. Don’t give up, and give yourself grace. You’re trying

It's too easy to be upset with ourselves when we're our only company we keep. I don't usually suggest meetings, but you would likely benefit from hearing from others who share our predicament, knowing you're not alone and finding another soul or two who you can trust to share your worries with. If you are able to step away from your day-to-day responsibilities, in-patient treatment is a good idea. I don't think I would be able to start over again without a cray-cation. Copyright claim on that word! Keep up the good fight!

Yes I would like more information please & thank you
Hey, baby, how you doing first? I'm gonna tell you wrong. What's built-in a day? So when in I tell you this? You have to fight.
For your recovery for your life and every single day you have to make a choice today. Am I gonna drink or today? And I'm gonna be. Clean 24 hours is harder to get than 3 4 or 5 years.
