Hello everyone. I'm an alcoholic for approximately 27 years. I'm a binge drinker and have relapsed many many times and have been hospitalized many times due to alcohol withdrawal and withdrawal seizures . I have been in detox several times. Right now I'm on the last part of handling alcohol withdrawal again .Just need some support and a community for guidance and help. Thank you all and good luck to everyone.

I’ve relapsed a few times myself so clearly I don’t have all the answers but for me each time got worse and I just can’t live like that anymore so I made a promise to myself and hopefully I can keep it this time

I know you can do this, you know it as well. I believe in a comprehensive strategy. 1 get in a program you are comfortable with
2 get educated, try reading Alcohol Explained by William Porter. It's easy to read and understand what alcohol does to keep you addicted. Check out Gillian Tietz's website Sober Powered. She's a recovering alcoholic with a wealth of information. 3 get right with God. Prayers work. There is something comforting about going to church.
I'm 17 months sober this time around and feel very confident this time
I will talk sobriety reach out anytime
Prayers always

You can do this- stay close to God, and don’t forget the wreckage of your past- no need, nor want to go back to that life.

Hi Nikki
And so why do you think that you relapse? It's because You Keep On Believing the LIE;
That this time, everything will be okay. But it never is, is it?
Do you have a game plan for the next time that you have a desire to drink?
I'd like you to read something. This is what really opened my eyes.
Men and women drink essentially because they like the effect produced by alcohol. The sensation is so elusive that, while they admit it is injurious, they cannot after a time differentiate the true from the false. To them, their alcoholic life seems the only normal one. They are
restless, irritable and discontented
unless they can again experience the sense of ease and comfort which comes at once by taking a few drinks—drinks which they see others taking with impunity. After they have succumbed to the desire again, as so many do, and the
phenomenon of craving
develops, they pass through the well-known stages of a spree, emerging remorseful, with a firm resolution not to drink again. This is repeated over and over, and unless this person can experience an
entire psychic change
there is very little hope of his or her recovery.”
