I really need help
Well I am back again. I have had so many day 1's. I guess this is another. I have failed so many times. I think I need to cut alcohol out completely from my life. I have racked up my visa bill, spent my savings, ruined my relationship and not progressed at all with my life because of alcohol. Everything I have done that I regret I have done drunk. I become an *******. I make such stupid choices. I am so lost with my life and seriously look at life with no interest anymore. Im sorry for this pathetic rant, I am just such a loser.

Hooped is right. You're not pathetic or a loser - or you'd blindly continue that destructive behavior. You are reaching out for a better life, and you can have it, benny! Try again - we're with you.

Hi Benny
Welcome back
I felt like that too - no matter what I did it seemed everything led back to alcohol and me being unhappy.
You're not a loser tho - you're addicted - and you're fighting it
I had to make some pretty big changes to get out of the cycle - my whole life, all my social interaction - all revolved around alcohol.
I didn't lose out on the deal tho - there's the capacity for happiness and a great life in all of us - if we give it a chance and take the leap

My counsellor told me that I wasn't a bad person because of drinking. I shouldn't be ashamed of myself. The drinking isn't ME it's something I do. You are not a bad person, you are not a loser, YOU have the strength to recognise a problem and try to fix it. She's helping me quit, and it was the first time anyone has made me feel like I'm not a **** for drinking, and helped take away a lot of the shame that leads me to drink.
I don't know if that will help you also, but remember: YOU are a good person. You weren't born with a bottle in your hand - it's not YOU, it's just something, for whatever reason, you've turned to for help and become dependant on. With the right support you can get that help from somewhere healthier.
You are an awesome person. Aspire to be the real you while you're quitting.
