i cant keep doing this

again i now find myself back here and lifes as shite as it always was, although whilst i was in the pub last night - i had one of those moments and said to myself WTF am i doing in here, put down my pint and walked out of the pub (something ive never done before) - ive had enough of feeling like death warmed up, ive had enough of being skint and ive had enough of just basically being me.
Ive been awake since 5am this morning and i have made a conciencious list in my head of the things i need to do to sort myself out , ive been on the aa website and i will be attending a meeting this evening, ive gone through all of my cupboards and binned everything alchohol related (including tshirts with beer logos on them), and i have decided i am going to become a more active member on here.
so before i go im now 12 hours sober and feel like poo, but i feel positive today - have a good day everyone and stay safe

Glad you are going to make a meeting - could make the difference of a lifetime. Just reaching out to other alcoholics was what helped me step into another realm of possibilities. My other realm of self-destruction was on the verge of sinking me for good and all.

All the best

gutted - the bloke who was going to give me a lift down to the meeting this evening has informed me that he cant do it - but im not going to take it as a negative - im looking at it as a positive - so ive made myself a big bowl of comfort pasta and im going to find a film to watch on telly - then settle down with my copy of the big book :-)
and tomorrow im going to get the bus to the meeting instead :-)

in a few days you will likely be walking some place and end up grinning to yourself, unable to believe how much you prefer not feeling like crap. Getting sober is a major achievement, it gives you a chance to get your life back from the addictive drug that is alcohol.

Stick with it no matter what. Get to a meeting when you can and get plugged in. If you keep drinking you'll continually ask yourself WTF am I doing?

It sounds like you're on the way Paul... That first step is the hardest, but take it in stride and be proud of yourself that you are making a plan and want to be sober.

The answer is in the book.

Go to ANY length to stay sober.

What is ANY length to you.
