Can I finally do this?!?!
I have tried so many times to quit drinking and have failed. Last night was the worst night. I made such a fool of myself in front of my husband. Once again I woke up feeling so bad for my actions last night. I asked myself, "How much more can my family take before they have had enough of me?" I need to get it together already. Enough is enough!!!! I need to be strong, get it together and kick alcoholism in the ass!!

Hello and welcome to the site.
Many of us have successfully quit drinking, or are a ways along in the process of quitting.
You'll find a lot of support here, so I hope you stick around.
I found that kicking alcoholism in the ass without help was like a one legged man in an ass kicking contest.
It didn't go so well. Willpower wasn't enough no matter how hard I tried.
I found AA. I found this place and became active in both of them. It's been over ten years since I've had a drink of alcohol.
I still come here because I realize I am just given a daily reprieve from alcohol.
I'm one drink away from a drunk.
Anyway, I hope you develop a plan to stop drinking. There is help available, but you have to avail yourself to it.
I never could have quit alone.
Best to you in sobriety.

Hi and welcome Sunflower76 
Absolutely you can do this - takes a lot of work and a commitment to change but it's far from impossible
read around and post as much as you like. The support here is great - and it will help

Do it for yourself. I believe my sobriety has been better for me, than any of my family and friends. Of course you don't want to disappoint your family, but the last person you want to disappoint is you. At least that was true for me.

Yes, you can do this. My pattern has been much like yours. Numerous attempts, some more successful than others. The last time I drank I behaved really badly in front of my husband too and like you, I said 'enough is enough'. That was 4 weeks ago and it feels different this time. The battle has stopped. I simply don't drink now.
