Im leaving SR for now.
Thanks for all the support guys. I'm leaving now. With some kind of miracle I will hopefully write to you on here again. Whether its tomorrow, next year or in 10 years I cant tell u that right now. I will keep you all in my prayers.
Love to u all. Peace. xxxx

Unfortunately there are only two paths. We can get better or we can get worse. I will say a prayer for you and hope you choose the path of sobriety. There is a wonderful life out there but you have to be ready to reach out and grab it.
1 word of warning. Leaving sober recovery is exactly what alcohol wants you to do. I would ask myself, who is driving, you or alcohol?

Being here since June, my experience is that this has always ended badly.
Support is not always wrapped like a Christmas present. We're talking about a deadly condition here; not about making a few poor decisions in life. No one likes to hear that they need to do something different in order to achieve sobriety. Or peace of mind. Or to stop killing ourselves.
We convince ourselves that "my way" is the best way, and that we've nothing to learn from anyone else. After all, we apply a death grip to the sometimes harmful and delusional conclusions that come with demanding that "everyone is different," and that therefore no one can truly know what might be helpful for me.
I have chest pains, I see a doctor. My car craps out, I see a mechanic. But sobriety? Who knows better than an alcoholic mind, my alcoholic mind, what's good for me?
If my way worked, I wouldn't be here.

One thing I will say is that I have I turned my back on a lot of people who wanted to be there for me. I was scared of going back to them years later, but they were still there for me. Don't be scared to come back.
