Welcome to the family. :ghug3 A decent sober life (that you want to continue, not end) is possible. You must put down the bottle and learn to live without it. It's not easy but it is possible. If you don't have the strength yourself, get help, whether it be AA or another program, counseling, whatever support you can find and hold on to.

It can be done tho, I'm proof of that. I thought I was hopeless and wanted to die (before I drank myself to death). But with the support of the good people here, and my addiction counselor, I didn't give up on myself. I kept trying and I finally succeeded. I'm coming up on two years sober this winter, but when I came here looking for help I was a real train wreck.


You can do it too. We'll give you all the support we can and will be rooting for you to succeed. Please give yourself a good chance to turn things around. Don't give up on yourself/your life. You're worth the effort. Don't give up. Stick around and let us help you learn to stay sober.
