I wish I could say something that would magically heal u but I cant. But I do know one thing. If u dont stop u could kill someone getting behind the wheel after drinking. Thats twenty years in the pen. Not to mention a loss of life. Take ur drinking seriously. It could kill you. Please get help. Stay with us here at sr. We love you!

JF1, This is just my observation from reading your posts. I obviously don't know you as a person, but what you are describing in your posts is no different than hundreds of stories I've heard from sober, recovered, happy, useful alcoholics in the rooms of AA. You're describing untreated alcoholism. I do not believe for a second that you are beyond help.

The longer you swim in the whirlpool the harder it is to get out, Just.
I hope you find some spark of value in yourself - you deserve better - and so do those who love and care about you.

Broke up with my girlfriend & stole from a family member. I am not suicidal but I am not afraid to die. I just don't know why I do this to myself. It is very sick.
It's the first drink you have to stay away from.

She did not believe it until the police showed her her car with remnants of his shirt in the grill on the front.
I can't even begin to imagine having to live with that for the rest of your life. So beyond sad.
Huh?
