Please please help me *Trigger Warning*
I am an alcoholic, anorexic, borderline girl.
i have been working hard with AA but i just cant stay sober for more then two days. Everytime i go on a bender i end up in hospital, because i become suicidal and self harm very badly. I also hear voices and they are ruining my life and i just keep self medicating with booze.
Please help. How can i stay away from the drink? i'm at the end of my tether.

hi bubbles - welcome 
being a regular poster here, daily or even more than that, really helped me. i needed to be reminded everyday that i needed to make different decisions if i wanted to change my life.
it's really hard to change, and it's no fun in the early days, but the support i found here, especially in those hard days, was magic.
I once couldn't go 3 days without a drink- now I'm over 10 years sober.
It really is possible

Hiya!!
Welcome.
Like Dee said - stick here every day as a great tool.
But also, having a face-to-face program like AA even part time was tremendously helpful to me.
Also - given that you shared about Anorexia and Borderline - I would strongly advocate your working with a qualified therapist. Cross-addictions and co-mingled mental health issues along with addiction take an extra measure of support and care.
You deserve sobriety and happiness and you CAN have both.
I was married to a woman who was borderline and who refused to address it. I learned a lot about it in the process of our marriage (and subsequent divorce). It's something that can be dealt with if you choose to.
Again, welcome. We're glad you're here.
