The insanity stops when you get of the merry go round of drinking . it took a lot more effort, stress and worry for me to stay drinking than quitting and staying quit .
Drinking really is the pits imho ..

Hi Eclipse, you are strong enough because you're still working to get/stay sober,
May as well hang around with us while you're doing that
If you can, keep writing about what you're feeling so you can start to untangle the confusion and get less lost x

Drinking is exhausting. There is so much work involved in getting it, hiding it, trying to act sober when you aren't. Why am I doing this? I have been going to AA, but still drink, sometimes before a meeting, what is the point? I got a DUI that I have to deal with and just can't get sober long enough to deal with with it. It is making me crazy.

You said you are not strong enough or courageous enough to do this any more.
I say you are not strong enough or courageous enough to do this any less.
We don't always see our strengths. But you show them a lot on SR. Trust me. Let those of us here who see things from the outside reassure you that you are doing it.
It is craziness huh?
How is that house cleaning going? Did you make any new changes to things?
Sort through any more cosmetics! Lol wink wink.

Drinking is exhausting, Eclipse. Then add all the stuff we had to do to keep drinking and it's down right excruciating.
You CAN do this and you will feel so much better in the long run.
Leap of faith, Eclipse. Leap of faith. Believe it because it's true. Take that leap, Eclipse.

Will I really feel better if I stop?
How do I get there?

OMG i felt the same way.
I drank before and after every meeting.
and hiding it was the worst feelling ever.
we (I) all know how you feel, just start typing and get it all out.
When you go to the meeting next time, find someone you think you will be comfortable with and say hey I think i need some help. And if you Listen, really LISTEN, you will get sober. I promise, as this is how i did it and I was hopeless.

Hi Eclipse...so many good things said on this site we all know exactly where your coming from. Full time drinking is like a full time job. Seriously , liquor store stops, hiding being drunk , hiding bottles , feeling sick and on and on. Too much effort for what the outcome is.
So you got a DUI that sucks , but again one of the things that happens when we are in this craziness!!! You can deal with it. Stop drinking get a little clear headed and just put one foot in front of the other. Do what they tell you to do ( court) this to shall pass .
We are all here ..keep posting..take care of you.
