Welcome.
You can get everything back in time, if you stay sober.
You have to want it more then to drink.
Concentrate on today, make a promise that you won't drink and repeat that tomorrow.
Come here often for support, many of us are here for just that, helping each other to stay sober.
Loking forward to hearing more from you.
Stay strong.

When i wake up every day i feel like everyone is avoiding me, good friends that i knew for some time don't want to talk to me because i cause a lot of problems when i drink. And that hurts a lot so i drink and i feel so good, i think i end up pretty bad so that's why i wanna give up this bloody booze
Hi Alex,
Welcome!
I know it's frustrating that we can't change things that happened when we were drinking, but we can't. All you can do now, is to stop drinking and show your friends that you have changed. Be patient with yourself and focus on recovering.

Welcome
For me to quit and stay quit....I ad to make many
changes in my lifestyle. To find friends interested
in my new goals ....I went to AA meetings....
Have you considered AA?
Welcome to SR. Your explanation of feeling weak was interesting. You are actually feeling your emotions and when those emotions are "uncomfortable" you medicate. Its pretty common and part of recovery is learning to face life head on. Give recovery a try and you will learn to love yourself again. You feel shame of the alcohol side of your personality and I would wager you a bet that most everyone that is an alcoholic isn't proud of that side of themselves. Recovery provides an opportunity to fall in love with the person you were created to be.
Welcome Alex! You will get a huge amount of support and comfort from this forum and being able to write down your thoughts is very theraputic during these difficult times. I agree with Anna - 'show your friends that you have changed. Be patient with yourself and focus on recovering.'
