You are young and sobriety will bring to you a bright new life.
Gather your sober tools so as to work your Program.

You will meet many who were in your condition
who are recovered and happy.

You will hear more but, for now consider these.

An honest talk with your doctor.
Attending some AA meetings.
Call a local church arrange meeting with Pastor or Elder. (our church has helped many)
Keep in touch,

You don't have to...that's the whole idea behind recovery. Instead of fighting with alcohol just surrender to the fact that you cannot drink it. There are lots and lots of people who can help. AA meetings, a doctor, the Salvation Army, Local drug/alcohol treatment centers, a priest or minister, even the community here at SR. We've all been where you are so we understand how desparate it seems, but let others help you and you definitely have a whole new life in front of you. You get to decide which path you choose and you can start today if you want.

Ppl aren't meant to fight alcoholism alone, IMO. You need to be with like minded individuals who are trying to achieve the same thing: recovery in sobriety. There's amazing strength in numbers, my friend. You'd be surprised.

Yes! Welcome, make a plan for today, fill your hours with other things. Share on this site, feel good in the morning and take it from there!

You messed it up, you can straighten it out. But it will require effort and quitting drinking.

tomls 01-21-2017 12:23 PM

You made a great 1st move coming to SR!

I quit when I was 46. I probably should have never even started but better late than never. I love my alcohol free life!

I got sober at 30 yrs old an now with
a many one days sober added together
I am 26yrs sober. I began in rehab after
my family placed me into the hands of
those capable of teaching me about
my addiction to alcohol and its affects
on me and those around me.

I was told that I never have to pick
up a drink of alcohol by living in the
day and incorporating the tools and
knowledge of a recovery program
taught to me in all areas of my life.

I wanted to remain sober more so than
ever and I did what I was suggested
to me as my life depended on it.

There were so many folks who found
success in recovery and they had what
I truly wanted and I worked hard to
achieve it each and every single sober
day.

So can you. :)

At 22 my life seemed over, yet it really began with that phone call to AA, and the words "I think I might have a drinking problem" - Understatement of the century!

I found. The solution and haven't needed to drink for over 30 years. It sounds like a long time but it's gone so quick. When I came in I couldn't see my self getting past 21 days, so I just followed suggestions one day at a time. And here I am:)

I started my sober life at 44. I am still dealing with some of the destruction I created but my life is 100% better. I have been able to fix many of the problems that I created from my drunken/alcoholic decisions. Wouldn't have happened if I stayed stuck in the bottle. There is always hope and a solution. Welcome to SR and comeback often.

YES!

I finally stopped drinking at 39 - 11 mo ago today- and turned 40 sober in August. I too had f-ed up my life, big time, and IME.....it is so entirely different now that I am sober and keep working a very strong program, that it sometimes (often) blows my mind.

You can choose to quit now- you might not feel it now, but you are young. There is so, SO much better living on the sober side of the fence.

Hope to see you around- perhaps look at the Class of Jan 2017 thread under Newcomers Daily Support....read stories here....see what you recognize about yourself and decide if now is the time to quit and get well.

You can do it.

Hello gzmkci, I fkd my life for 45 years before finally straightening up. You can do this too , the payoff is well worth the inital struggle.

PhoenixJ 01-22-2017 06:21 AM

There is hope- if you choose that path. Prayers.

gzmkci 01-22-2017 07:38 AM

My gf still doesnt forgive my :( i ruined my relationship :(

RecklessEric 01-22-2017 08:03 AM

We do such damage to reletionships when we're drinking.
The best thing you can do is get yourself sober and well.
I wish you the best.

You need to focus on yourself right now gzmicki. All the problems you are having are because of your drinking. And the only way to fix them is to quit drinking and stay quit. It's not impossible to repair your relationship, but it will be if you don't own up to your addiction and take personal responsibility for it. Have you considered going to an AA meeting or seeing a doctor or addiction specialist?
