I'm sorry, I really want someone to help me, I'm a weak, pathetic *******. I've been stealing alcohol from supermarkets for the last couple of days, I spent my last pennies on the soup.
I have given up on myself in recent weeks and I just want this to end. I know it's up to me ultimately, I can't cope with reality.
IF someone is finding it as hard perspectively as me right now it would be a comfort.
I feel like a disgusting human being.

I'm not giving up on you 
please understand that you can decide to change right at this moment. When I gave up drinking I started getting better. And every day sober stitches me back together. You can have that too!

I'm really sorry you're struggling right now, JimJim. Alcohol took me to a very dark place, too, where I felt hopeless and hated myself for letting things get that bad. Things do change, though, once we stop drinking and life becomes worth living again.
Regardless of how you feel right now, you ARE worth getting the help you need to turn this around. Reaching out tonight is a good start - you can do this.

Hey Jim Jim - I'm sorry you're low.
I used to think I couldnt cope with reality either, but I'm not sure I ever really gave reality a chance - I was either drunk or really sick and hungover.
I think the most I was ever sober was 2 months...usually it was more like 2 days.
I know how scary it is to really finally surrender and really finally reach out for help - but I think it's time, yeah?.
Stealing booze from supermarkets is only ever gonna end one way, Jim.
What about AA, or maybe rehab?

JimJim, I've been wondering where you were.
No-one here is ever going to give up on you, please don't give up on yourself x
I hated myself at the end of my drinking days, alcohol took me to a very dark place too.
Reaching out to us is a good start. Can you think about getting some f2f support in your life now?
Thinking of you x

JimJim, Dee is right isn't he, you need to reach out for some help. The help is there, AA or the local medical centre, it is worth it Jim because you're worth it. There are a whole lot of people who care, I am just one of them. Hugs JimJim.

JimJim, you may have given up on yourself but those of us here haven't given up on you - we care!! This is where the disease takes you. Please get yourself to an AA meeting today - you will find many kindred spirits who have been or are where you are right now.
Please get help now- you are more than worth it.

Jim......I've followed your posts along many months. Back in March, I think you were getting some time up I think, yes? Then you've been absent.....I guess I'm trying to add my one voice to the others here that are telling you that you are part of a group of people who do care about how you are going. I'm sorry the news isn't better, so are they, but the support is here for you. All the best, Jim.

It's worked for almost 24 yrs so far.
The only thing that is up to you, if you are an alcoholic like me, is to decide to quit trying it your way and do it AA's way. Surrender.
All the best.
