Hi and Welcome,
I'm glad you found us and that you have decided to live a sober life.
I was really angry with myself for allowing addiction to take over my life. Maybe you can use your frustration to help you move forward with your recovery.

Ruf Ruf just couldn't help myself lol. I too was pissed for years over being an addict but as time went by that anger turned to gratitude because at least I knew what was wrong with me and I had a place to go to for help. There are so many people who are screwed up and don't know why and don't have anybody to help. I know that probably sounds pretty crazy to ya right now but its all good. Keep the Faith Judy M

Welcome to the site! Im on day 27 and part of it sticking this time seems to be accepting that I am an alcoholic and not trying to fight it or trick myself into thinking I can control my alcohol intake and reading lots of stuff here on SR.

I didnt choose this for me either, But I have found peace in "learning" I'm not just a rotten S.O.B. who was too weak to change................ BUT rather a person with a disease. And then all the sudden the card I was dealt didnt look so CRAPPY.
I was an alcoholic yesterday....
I am and alcoholic today.......
and I'll be an alcoholic tomorrow..........
and I am seriously Okay with that today

Welcome. I have spent the last 15-20 years trying to learn to be a 'social drinker'. It never has nor will ever happen. I finally have come to the realization that I am an alcoholic and it is poison to me. It turns me into someone I would NEVER want to be around with. It is destructive. I have had enough and realized that I cannot have that 1st drink. Day 13 and going ok. The people on this site have helped so much.... Good luck.
