another false attempt at sobriety

Today i was going to not drink.

Today i got drunk.

Tomorrow i will probably do the same.

This insanity has to end.

I don't know i find myself stuck in a never ending story.

I would love to blame my life but my life is ok.

I don't know my point I'm sure i have one lol.

You CAN do this. You need a plan for tomorrow. Don't say "Tomorrow I'll probably do the same", instead say "Tomorrow, I WILL NOT drink." Just for the day...and then add another day, and another.

You can end the insanity newpower.

You can drink again tomorrow or draw a line in the sand and say no more.

If you need help tomorrow there's no end of it here.

when you're in a hole - stop digging.

What do you say?

I call this insanity the tornado as it really feels like youl never stop drinking I still remember & hope I never forget that feeling of lost

Good news is I'm 26 months sober believe me I still pinch myself as I never thought this day possible but here I am 801 days sober

The only way to stop drinking is stop drinking fight those urges & cravings with tools il include in this post

But you gotta fight the cravings they won't stop beating you to a pulp until the real you fights back

There are hard days ahead some of the best days of your life are ahead also

So my question is are you going to keep landing on your bum or are you going to fight back and 1 inch at a time climb yourself out of hell

Il be waiting with the rest of SR with my arm out

Hi.
Most of us here had trouble stopping drinking. As said in AA “you can get off this elevator of despair any floor you WANT to before it crashes at the bottom.” The item needed is the want to.

I needed to become honest with myself about my drinking and ACCEPT the fact I cannot any longer drink alcohol in safety one day at a time in a row. Void that and my life on earth is in jeopardy.

I needed to remember that alcohol for me is powerful, baffling cunning, insidious and the ISM is progressive for my lifetime.
I needed to come to terms with my disease which tells me I don’t have a problem and concentrate on not drinking.

BE WELL
