What Do You Do???
When you've learned so much about how to stop drinking because of all the obvious reasons...you've tried so many ways and still you persist. Some of us will never be ok with it, will they? Reasons??? what are the reasons? we don't know how to live any other way?

I know what to do....you figure it out yourself....you got no one to count on, so you figure it out yourself.....you've come a long way, most days you dont want to be here at all, but you have to becuase you've brought others into this life, they didn't ask to be here so you gotta take care of them when you can't even take care of yourself....life is funny isn't it....Big Guy in the sky, why do you do this to us? WHY? I know you're there, so would you kindly explain......

I really think I had to stop trying so hard to give up and just had to give in. That may sound really strange but it was more coming to an admission that the fight was over that made it over.
I gave into alcohol, it had control of me, I had to admit that to myself, fully and truly.
AA is there for help, the Smart Recovery site is there, SR is here, there is heaps of stuff on the internet.
I have also found that relaxing about my kids and accepting their love is a gift that is very special and helps me enormously. I have tried to soak up that love and allow myself to enjoy it, it is very healing as well.
You can find the strength to give in. There are lots of alcoholics that have found they can live without alcohol.

When ever I get the urge to drink, I ask the Big Guy in the sky to give me the strength to not drink. It has worked ever since...the urges pass without a second thought. I can't explain it. All I know is...it helps.

Try to locate an AA meeting near to you or some other recovery method. There are tons of alternatives available nowadays. Try something and stop trying to do it on your own.

Kath is right Denise. You need to save your energy for helping yourself. There's no sense in wasting it beating on yourself.
I hope you're feeling better today. Let us know how you're doing.
Hugs and prayers
