I'm upset with me
I'm upset with me
you know all I have to do is not drink. And last night someone came over and I got drunk with them.
I'd like to think I make rational decisions, but this is irrational. It makes no sense, its sick and sad. Its pathetic, I don't honestly know why I do this, I am going to lose everything and all I gained was a sad high.
I am at a very low point in life, I am so disappointed in me, I keep doing this and things get worse, but I don't stop. Its early, I need to pick myself up and start again, but this relapse hurts. Dumb, dumb, dumb, I let urges over take logic.
You know, I can and will beat this habit, anyone can, so many others have. I am still holding on to a bit of faith, tonight is crappy hanging my head low and listening to some music, but poised to make tomorrow good day.

TDG, you know, tomorrow never really comes, it is today that matters, here and now, this moment.
I know you know all the right answers and finding it difficult to follow them. That's not a criticism , I and lots on here did the same.
If you don't want to drink, just don't, no I'm not being flippant, it's very hard, I and thousands will agree, it's not a walk in the park. It's a white nuckle ride which many bale out , the fall being easier than the ride. I will testify to that.
I wish you well.

I dunno what to tell you man.
I used to be great at talking the talk - I talked up a *big* game...
but when it came to action, I only did the bare minimum required, because deep down I was terrified of change. And I couldn't stand 'losing'. My pride was killing me.
I wanted all the good things I'd lost back...and to keep drinking.
You can't do that. Trust me.
You need to pick a side and then give it 100% commitment and effort.
I still say inpatient is your best shot at this.
I really think you need time away from trying to be all these things you want to be at once - father, husband, provider, wise man, everyones buddy, gambler, drinker - cos man - that's not working..

We were drinking friends, it was actually a very poor decision. I knew why they were coming, and knew what they would bring. The wife actually got mad at me and told me not too, I didn't listen.

I slipped last time due to someone bringing alcohol into my house. I got two sips into the wine before I freaked out and got rid of it. My rule is "no shoes, no booze" for my house now!
Keep your head up and figure out what will work differently this time :-)

Why would it cover it before when you were talking it up, and not now?
In any case, Salvation Army would be free.
yes - I know it's six months...but really - how badly do you want change, Jeremy?
It's *not* a secret - I did (and do) everything in my power not to drink anymore.
Drinking is definitely the easy option - you have to stop looking for the easy options and the shortcuts, man.
you really need to decide who you want to be.
If it's sober, then you need to start pulling your weight.
There's no other way, bro.

soberwolf reminded me of the story about the boy who cried wolf.
Too bad you missed the fight huh. Were you feeling bad that you missed the fight to stay sober so you made up for it? I don't know what to say.
But saying this is new to you - it's early - is a bunch of crap. You are going into the late rounds having lost every round. You need a knockout to win.
Time to step up your game.

I can't make you do anything you don't want to do man.
I definitely agree it's time to look at the options you will consider, and give them all the effort and dedication you have.
There's no reason why you can't get sober Jeremy. I did
