I'm really glad you made it back here Stewy.

Things sound rough - I'm hoping you're at the point where you have the impetus to go all out against your addiction and beat this thing once and for all

you can do this

Stewy, so glad to have you back with us. You have made my day, seriously man!

Formulate a rock solid plan and stick with it. Make adjustments, as necessary for sustained and permanent sobriety.

Stay close to us.

I just feel like I’ve got no fight left in me like I’m completely spent. It’s a dark place now. I feel on my own, this time it’s so much worse than before. Already had time off work this week

If you had no fight in you then you would be here. Actions speak louder then words. You're back and that shows you haven;t given up.

Keep going man. The voice telling you to quit is your AV.

For me there was no 'fight' needed..'fighting' kept me drinking. Once I surrendered and accepted the fact I can not drink at all anymore and if I do it's 110% MY fault, is when I got sober.

Welcome back Stew! I'm on day 19 and we need your voice amongst us. You can help us newbies. It takes courage to start again. My organs are corrupted by alcohol too.

I’m glad you are back. Keep fighting. I was at the lowest moment of my life, when I came back here 4 months ago. When I woke up from my total blackout binge, and realized I had finally lost my family. I had a choice to make, either keep drinking and die, or stop and live. Nothing has been easy. But I want to live. That’s what it came down to. I want to live, and I want to have a family, and I want to be sober. And now I am willing to do anything for that. But the first thing I had to do was put down the alcohol. Not drinking and going to aa. That is what got me over the hump where I could see with some clarity.
