HI--I have been exactly where your at before so many times--I can honestly say there is hope in recovery because I've found it first hand--Alcoholism is an allergy of the body and obsession of the mind--I had to get a sponsor to guide me thru the process of recovery--I couldn't differentiate the true from the false very well so I had to take action and try a new "Solution" called The 12 Steps--I faced some difficult truths with the help of AA--We don't have to do recovery alone--There is help here--Just get out of your head and walk the straight and narrow if SOBREITY is where you want to go--May God Bless you and Keep you until then......
