I'm sure you are familiar with the fable, "the boy who cried wolf"? Well...

HC, you post immediately after a binge about how awful you feel and how you need to stop the madness. You then receive a bounty of sound advise from those that have been where you are and succeeded. Yet, I never see a follow up response to any of it by you. Not until your next guilt ridden hangover.

Action needs to be taken. Try something simple, start by acknowledging and thanking those that continue to try to help you. Try a little give and take on these boards and share a little more about your troubles other than "drank again. Feel awful. Need to stop". Please, try something different. Happiness and sobriety is waiting. But it doesn't just happen.

Unlike the ending in the fable, the townspeople here, will always answer a cry for help.
