Well I guess this where my new start begins. I'll start by saying I'm a cocaine addicted alcoholic and have been trying to fight it for a couple years. I've come to realize that I can't do it anymore I have to small children and I feel like I'm letting them down constantly when I go into a bender mode. So my main issue is when I hit about 4 weeks sober I have so many voices in my head making me feel like it's ok to have a drink so I do and I'm ok for a few times but as you all know it's never enough and I find myself planning and lying and scheming to go on a bender. So I guess what I'm hoping to get out if this is when I have these urges I can come here and talk about what I'm feeling like. Thx for whoever reads this
Welcome, Josh, to SR. There is always someone here who cares and wants to see you beat your addiction; SR is 24/7, 365.
Have a look around the site; there is a wealth of information about addiction and methods and strategies for recovery. That voice you hear - we call it your AV (Addictive Voice); there is a method called AVRT (Addictive Voice Recognition Therapy); you may find it helpful.
Have you considered face to face support (AA, NA)?

Thx I'll try to look for that. I'm on day 2 of being sober, I know it's not much but I have to start somewhere. Over the last 10 years of my like the longest I've been sober is 60 days. I can't let myself down this time thx again

Hi. I have been lying in bed two days straight. 34 years old and so much opportunity in front of me. I feel guilty to be so blessed. Iam a binger.. i can go without booze for months but when it happens it really happens.. a friends party turns from a social affair to me being the focal point of madness.. why do i do it to myself?? I have just thrown away 4 days of my life with fear and anxiety..
