determined but weak
I have been trying so hard to stop drinking. I have a beautiful fiance, a baby on the way, and a lab pitbull mix who love me unconditionally. My father was a alcoholic and a drug addict and is in prison curently. Every morning I say ill quit drinking every night I drink more and more. I need to be a father i love my child but if I keep this up I'll end up like my dad. Has anyone ever felt like this? Am I just weak stupid or just a piece of ****. I am in deep. But people I hear about on this sight have been worse off than me and can do it. Why is this so hard for me? I need to motivate myself more that seems to be the key but how.

Your not weak nor stupid being alcoholic and quitting has nothing to do with strength or smarts. You made a step and came here so thats a good start.
What have you been trying, just simply not drinking on your own. Very few are able to do that. I know this alkie there was no way I could on my own. I had to accept it and truly want it. So began the work. Yes you have to work for it every day, sometimes every second. I personally am a memeber of AA, and woulnt be here without it.
But there are a great group of people here that use other programs. Check um out, see what looks a little good, and go for it. With everything you got .
You soon to be wife, dog
, and especially you deserve it.

For me admiting i was an alcoholic and that my life was out of my control were the first stages in finding sobriety. Intelligence or stupidity has little to do with recovery for me it was more about my pridefull ego and learning to be humble before my adicition .
My way is mine and works for me so far . Why not try one of the well trodden paths of AA , AVRT , SMART and hang round SR to see who does what and how it works for them and what suits you .
