D...it means I wish I could say I was better. I wish...I wish...I wish...although I am drinking way less that I ever did....I am suffering way more for the amount/times that I do drink...and although my life isn't SUFFERING from the drink...what has happened is something bad....I have resigned myself to the fact that I will never be able to quit and this is going to be my life. I HATE it. I want to be sober and I am not...although I don't drink everyday, or when the kids are awake...I am still drinking and hating myself for it...and therefore still struggling.....the scarey thing is that as well as accepting that I am an alcoholic...I have accepted that this is my life.......I won't ever get sober.

I don't believe you've accepted it or you wouldn't be back here Tay 
I've been where you are - I think a lot of us have - never give up hope - never stop trying.
I really believe if you do that, you'll win out

Gee Dee;
I wish I could say that I saw a light at the end of the tunnel, but I've been down this road SO many times, tried with ALL MY HEART so many times, and I always end up drinking again, no matter what. So I now don't see how I will ever live without drinking. Yes, I am back here, but only because it is a last effort....but again, one I've tried before, to no avail.

You know what to do Tay. Start simple - I will not drink today...and keep posting. That's enough for now

I know how you feel, tay. I realised recently that my lack of hope has become a self-fulfilling prophecy, dooming me to fail before I even try.
It is understandable to lose hope, I feel like Charlie Brown with Lucy holding the football to kick...I believe I will do it each time..you can only do that so often before hope leaves us.
But...here I am trying again...with hope, this is my journey and I will get there.
Please don't lose hope.

Forward we go...side by side-Rest In Peace

Whatever you tried....try again.
Whatever you did not try...explore.
If you can't do it for you..do it for your children.
Do it for your future health.
Do it for those who say you can't.
Welcome back...

Welcome back!!!
Don't write yourself off as hopeless, yet, sweetie. You're alive, you're here, so there's still hope. Like Dee said, there are a lot of people who have been where you are.
I'm just really glad you're back.
Hugs and prayers!

Welcome back! Please don't give up on yourself. I almost did but I hung on, with the help and encouragement of my friends here, and I finally was able to stay sober. I thought I was hopeless but I'm not and here I am at 23 weeks sober. If I can quit drinking, so can you!
