I am wondering if some people just are beyond help, George Best could afford the very best kind of help offered but still sadly died of the disease to name but a few.
Sometimes I think some of you think it just takes going to AA and making a plan.
I am sinking fast and all alone...
If I didn't think my drinking was a problem or that I could go on without all the negative repercussions. I wouldn't have stopped. I had been thinking about AA for years but never went.
I just couldn't fathom my life without some kind of crutch. When I needed a drink I needed it now. Always had a bottle at home. Always enough to drink what I needed.
But when all is said and done you have to want to stop. That was me. I'd had enough.
Alcohol just wasn't working anymore.
I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. An old AA cliché to be sure but one I can totally relate with.
