Don't want to lie on here since I've lied to everyone else. I'm a sad case. Maybe I just want to drink myself to death. There seems to be no escape. I probably do need an inpatient program. Looking into it. The other guy is winning, just like he predicted. Maybe that's the real me? So lost....

I would say that since you are here that means at least part of you wants to quit. Don't give up. If you think inpatient would help please do pursue it, it can be a lifesaver.

I don't know the exact percentages but I'm guessing most people on SR or indeed in any type of external program were not successful first time out, we learn more from defeat than we do from victory.

You can do this.

I see a lot of self hate there. Could have spoken those words myself. Lost in the fog of drink.

I don't believe you want that. It would be in contrast to the reason why I think you posted, The real you clearly wants out. Out of the mist and treading on the path of what you truly desire.

Fight on.

Might be just what you need. Makes it impossible for you to get alcohol. You can detox and get through early withdrawals, and you can gather enough recovery tools to handle things when you come out.

I say go for it.

I think inpatient is what saved my dad's life. You really should look into it. You do want to quit, just don't let the AV win!

"He"..the AV is winning some battles..but you are still here...still posting and looking into other options...so IT hasn't one the war.

IT definitely isn't the real you. The real you is the one who posted here. The real you wants his voice, strength, hope, clarity back. The real you want out from under the burden of ADDICTION my friend.

That's why we are all here trying to get that ugly, nasty beast off our back.

As Jim says...just keep fighting friend.

You must never give up because this disease is relentless.

If Inpatient sounds good to you, then go for it.

SigChiScooby

Anna NAILED it! I second what she said! Good luck, man!

Hey SoberHoopsFan, I drank again today as well.

It is horrible to come back here and admit it.....but the folks here all get it, which is amazing. People in real life so often don't get it.

You definitely don't want to drink yourself to death, I'm sure of that, or you would not have come back here and posted.

If you feel you need inpatient, absolutely go for it.

We're rooting for you.

You might have lost a battle, but NOT the war.

Tomorrow is D-Day 70th anniversary. Make it yours for all time and jump into sobriety like there is no tomorrow.

You can do this! We are all beside you.

SoberHoops - You are not going to give up. You are going to keep trying until you have the life you want and deserve. You reached out for a reason, and we're here for you to lean on.

As Stoogy said, we aren't all successful the first time. I was still drinking when I came to SR, but I found the courage to stop all together by sharing & being honest here - the way you are. I'm glad you wanted to tell the truth about what happened. Leave that other guy in the dust.
