not proud of this habitual occupation ive chose!!this now i really want to
change!! an am gonna.. AS DONT WANNA DIE SOME LOSER WHO KNEW
THE WAY OUT BUT REFUSED TO TAKE IT..i would like to think am too
smart for that!! but no ones too smart! just wanted to remind myself
again what its like to be in the gutter missing out on the goodlife! it matters
so much so why dont I, DONT JUDGE ANYBODY! so not everyone writes

I hope very much that this can be your last drink Dasha - I know you know as well as I do - it's no way to live, man.

Do whatever you need to to make some real changes mate - talk is good - but actions better

Hi Dasha,

Doing this on your own is not working. Are you ready for AA yet?

Keep coming back.

I'm not offering you my opinion
I'm saying a fact.....
Yes! you can quit drinking and stay quit.

I sure hope this is the time you will....

Hi dasha - it does sound like you're ready this time. When I came here I knew what had to be done but didn't have the courage to face the unknown (life without booze). When I look back, I don't know why it took me so long to stop pouring the junk down my throat. It had been years since it was fun or an escape from boredom. I was in a living hell.

An exciting new life waits for you dasha - the one you've clung to for so long is bringing you misery. I'm so happy you've come here and look forward to hearing about your journey.

Living sober really is a better way to live: no regrets, no shame, no risk, no wasted money or time. I'm glad you're starting over. Yes, you CAN do this!

Yes I knew when I reached it. This from Bill's story in the Big Book describes exactly how I felt at that moment when I had taken my last drink

No words can tell of the loneliness and despair I found in that bitter morass of self-pity. Quicksand stretched around me in all directions. I had met my match. I had been overwhelmed. Alcohol was my master.
