Hello. I found this site last week and have read many posts and in so many of them I saw myself. I thought I was on the road to recovery again, 5 days sober and then, the road fell out from under me. So here I start at the beginning, again. I have been struggling with my alcoholism for about 15 years. I have had years of therapy, been to rehab and still have this overwhelming desire to drink. I find no pleasure in the alcohol and the guilt and shame I feel after drinking is almost unbearable. I am finding no joy in any part of my life at this moment. I am hoping this site will help me deal with some of the emptiness this disease has given me. All of your postings and words of wisdom and strength to others gives me hope. I will keep coming back as ya'll let me see there is light at the end of this long road.

Thank you everyone for the Welcome. I just finished brunch and am ready for a nap. Drinking is very exhausting, both mentally and physically. Day 1.

Welcome Laceyhearts, glad you found this site, it
has been a big part of my recovery.
Have you talked to your doctor about any
of the medications to help with cravings.
Just curious cause you have been in rehab, and
have been trying for so long.
Best wishes, hope3
