Shame amidst familiarity

Back Again

Hoping to find some peace amidst the chaos that is my moments.

I have so much respect for this place and everybody who is brave enough to come here .. but I don't know if I belong here yet as I am still so lost

Welcome back. Feeling lost and helpless is normal, you're addicted to alcohol and that's how the drug affects our brains after continuous, long-term use. One thing I can promise you, in sobriety the chaos and helplessness goes away. It all starts with not having that first drink... ever.

Go easy on yourself, you can get there

Welcome GentleSoul, I can attest you do belong here, even feeling a little lost. It's good to have a haven you can come touch in with even if you are still searching. <3

Don't worry GentleSoul; this is good place to start looking for yourself.

Welcome back GentleSoul.

I think this place is especially for lost souls.
I really hope you'll stick around and let us help

Trying to get sober. I tried before actually in this past year I ....was able to manage about two months I have 100 hundred percent sobriety. Just can't believe those people around me they can manage to get a buzz and shut things down in a relatively reasonable way. Here I am it's almost 4 in the morning and I am up just still drinking. Alone. There is no moderation in my world. I'm so envious because I know that I would love to be able to cut "back on my drinking" but I know that it is all or nothing I need to just stop. Quit.
