Starting over.
I feek like I’m alone in this.

Hevyn

Never alone. The last time I started over it resulted in me being sober for 12 yrs. & counting. It was after I tried once again to be a social drinker & failed.
You can do it this time, ck.

You'll stop - for good -when you're ready.

I think you know you're not alone. That's why you comment here.

When I was writing my book, I compared the grinding aggravation of the AV to the itch of an itchy mosquito bite.

The more you scratch the itch - the worse it itches. The more you drink - the more you want to drink.

Stop scratching.

For myself, getting help was necessary to quit drinking. I could not do it alone. I needed the support of others in AA and on this forum. Here's a few good threads to join, and a link to just one group out of thousands with online meetings now (there are several meetings starting around noon Pacific time (GMT -7h).

I tried and failed too many times to count but eventually it stuck and now I'm coming up on 11 yrs sober. Never give up!

Living out where I do, just surrounded by trees and fall coming on, I feel very alone in my sobriety at times. Yet I know I'm not alone and coming here so helps me stay connected. Also practicing mindfulness and some yoga helps to keep my damaged mind alert.

We are only alone as much as we allow ourselves to be. If we were truly alone and unique to our struggles, this place wouldn't exist. This place is testament to the contrary. You can come inside any time. When you have allowed yourself to be outside long enough, switch it up and allow yourself to join us. We are you and you are us.

Clark, you're not alone. We're all here with you.

Welcome back Clark - as long as you can read and post here, you’re not alone
Think about what you have been doing to not drink, and think about what you can add to that right now.

It takes concerted effort but you’ll be Ok

Sending support your way.

You're definitely not alone.

Wastinglife

Are you kidding me? The entire world is here!

Steely

You're definitely not alone Clark. We are all here for you.

I know from reading your posts from previous that you really want sobriety and that you know how to do it. Get back on the bus Clark. Destination awesome.

We are alone, but we are together.

MissOverIt

You are not alone and starting again is awesome. Never give up and keep trying different things to layer on top of what sticks. A really good resource for me when I’m feeling alone and different, other than this forum, is the online community In The Rooms. Online meetings all the time and of all fellowships. It’s easy to connect, share, and just listen. I guarantee you won’t feel alone in this after a meeting or two. 😉

Not alone. We are here for you, and understand

Backtogood

Never alone, it's a process and we each have to get there are own way, but Lots of support here.

Silver11

Sorry, I know all of you are here.
I meant I feel alone in life. It’s my own fault, I tend to isolate a lot.

So. I start again.
have a great Sunday

Steely

I often feel that way too Clark. But have found in sobriety the loneliness has turned to a certain introspection, understanding and acceptance of self that I have always denied myself. Afraid to let myself Be.

It's a great thing for me Clark one that I would not relinquish for anything. Without sobriety, drunken, I would continue to deny myself, continue to not BeMe. Go for it Clark, it's a beautiful thing.

Silver11

OK!
revving my engines. I’m going to give it everything again! 😊

I’m so thankful SR exists 👍🏽
