apology
I feel like I post too much about my struggle- and it's not helping the site so I am going to back off. I am sorry for the frustration that some of you are feeling with me- I have it times 1000. There are many great people that will benefit from hearing the successes that come from sobriety and they are here! I experienced it last year and it was fantastic. Trying this weekend (in a serious way- not cutting off for a day or two) to quit completely for the 3rd time in my entire life. Going to take it easy until Friday when I quit.
Love and Peace to All of You

There is no need to appologise Dub.
You are no different from any other alcoholic I've ever met or read about.
We relpase....sometimes more than we care to admit...but one of these times, it will stick.
I hope you stick around and get the support you need.
Take care x

Hi Dub
I think SR is exactly for folks like you.
I'm not frustrated - all I can do is share my experience - I just don't want to share it 30 times over with you, cos that would be boring for you me and everyone else.
I've never met a hopeless case here, and I doubt you're the the first, Dub
You know what you have to do.

I hope you won't stop posting, Dub. Dee's right - SR is the right place to be. I was still drinking when I came here, but I finally have over 2 yrs. I'm not frustrated with you in any way - just concerned and wishing you could begin to get well. I know you can do it.
I always read your posts because I'm interested - if I stopped caring, I just wouldn't read them. I remember when you first came here, & want to know how your journey is progressing. I think most of your 'followers' feel the same.

I don't think you need to apologize! Honestly posting your struggles is admirable. IMO, it's very easy to come on here and announce how many sober days/weeks/months you have... but much harder to come on and say I've been drinking, screwing up and struggling. I think it's very healthy to reach out for help when you need it -- so I hope you don't stop posting. It helps others as well. Don't worry about frustrating anyone. People can choose to read what they want to skip what they want -- it's a big forum.
Take good care and let us know how the quitting goes!

Agree with everyone else. Keep posting!! This is what SR is about my friend. There is no need to apologize.....you are amongst a community of folks who have been right in your shoes. We are just trying to let you know from experience what worked for us.
Hang in there!!

Hey dedubya, recently I have been struggling in exactly the same way. Your posts remind me I am not the only one suffering like this. I don't understand why you would stop posting. I am sure they are helping you over time. When you finally crack it, they will be a great reminder of the fight you had on your hands.

B*&ger that.
If everybody got it right the first time then it wouldn't be much of a problem wouldn't it?
Yeah yeah blah blah do these steps and you'll be sweet and oh by the way take this pill and you''l be right as rain. Yahdiyahdah.
It don't work that way, eh?
No, It's the journey mate, not the magic first attempt.
We all embarked on this journey for one reason or another and there is no real turning back and if you wanna get off at this stop that's your choice but I personally would regret that. I've only been here a couple of days but I've been reading your stuff and I'm curious to see how you'll be getting on with your journey and I for one don't mind travelling it with you for a bit. OK?

Yeah Dub, I am right there with everyone else. Don't stop coming here because you think we're tired of it. Yes, everyone would like to see you get better, however, you're not the only person that's been down this path. Just keep reading and posting. I'm hoping that soon you'll be able to grasp this recovery thing.
