The struggle with the disease of alcoholism is real. Im in the deep end of it and im seriously just trying to survive. Ive lost nearly everything. It’s emotionally such a hard struggle that im having trouble just finding hope. Im having trouble just walking my dog. I do know that deep down inside below the mess ive created is a new life. Im alone and im tired. Im hanging on

Alcoholism/addiction is brutal. Your post describes what I (and countless others) was going thru. I’ve read some of your posts. I hope you don’t mind this suggestion. I suggest you get yourself involved in a daily recovery program. I’m a believer in many paths, but you got to get up and walk that path. This friggin disease won’t quit until it takes everything. May you find the desire and power to go get help my brother

Mike your post resonates in so many ways, this disease takes everything away, your job your relationships, your health, everything. No other disease causes people to lose what we lose. Then you finally quit only to find the withdrawal symptoms, the anxiety and depression, are overwhelming. I highly suggest seeing a specialist and a group ASAP.

I completely understand. I relapsed two times before I hit rock bottom.

The fact that you can still see a new life under the mess tells me there’s something in you that hasn’t quit. Personally I've been there and I think May here have. You need support, and connection. Treatment not an option? Outpatient? Meetings? Keep showing up here and let the community support you through this. You've got this!
