that I am an alcoholic, I will always be an alcoholic. I posted this morning about being back on day 1 after only making it to day 2. However, this morning I woke up and I was tired of being like this. So, yeah, I guess the truth is that I am an alcoholic and I will always be one...but that does not mean I have to live my life as one.

Admitting you have a problem is a huge step toward getting better.
And you dont have to live like an alcoholic. That you are right about.
Just keep trying and remember that you dont have to live that way anymore.

It was hard for me to admit, even to myself, that I was an alcoholic, but once I accepted that fact it was easier to stop drinking... if that makes any sense. Good for you to come back trying again! Keep at it until you make it!

hey seemethrough

yeah it's tough - but like least says, admitting it makes it easier - or it did for me.
I gave up trying to pretend that it would be different the next time I drank - it won't be.

I drank 24/7 for a couple of years there by the end - living sober, and finally being who I want to be, is so much better than even I imagined

one day at a time
