Is there hope for me?
Here I am, trying to get sober.....again. I had 4 years of sobriety, then threw it away 2 years ago and have been trying to get sober ever since. I've had short periods of sobriety over the last two years but nothing lasting. I attend AA and have a sponsor. I just CANNOT seem to be strong enough to fight off that uncontrollable urge. Knowing that if I dont give in and drink, I will feel so discontent and irritable. I'm sure that it has to do with not surrendering completely or committing 100% no matter what. I want to, but the urge is too powerful, it overrides anything that I try to do to stay sober. So what is the answer? How have you all overcome the obsession to drink?
Thank you : )
