There's nothing wrong with you that's not wrong with the rest of us

I fear this has nothing to do with alcohol and I’m just a loser.
no your drinking has a huge part to play here, and it's probably had a huge part in your past jobs too.

Drinking's not solving anything , its not relieving in any real way, its eating away at your self esteem and it is making everything harder for you, and leaving you worse off HAS.

I know these things to be true because I was there once too.

Noone can give 100 % to something when they're drinking.

Noone can really follow their dreams when their life is being torn apart by their drinking.

Noone thinks well of themselves when they're destroying themselves with alcohol again and again.

Noone can really be happy when their drinking is fuelling their unhappiness.

You're not a loser - you're an addict. Not the same.

Its a marathon not a sprint.

My life didn't change over night and yours probably won't either - but I really believe that if you got back into AA, posted here regularly and started seeing your doctor again about your depression....within a few weeks you'd be in a much better place mentally to assess your life, your job and what you want from the future
