For me, I want everything fixed NOW. Like yesterday. It can't be. I have been praying, been to a meeting and talking to my sponsor.
She tells me to put one foot in front of the other and try to do the next right thing.
It is so hard though.

I've already been to that dark place.
It can change, ovrock. You can stay stopped! Help is available, even where you live.
Call this AA number and see if someone can take you or talk with you: (340) 776-5283
Please see a doctor.
Love,

there's an AA meeting there tomorrow. the phone number is an answering service, not sure if it's a live person or not, but try to call and just talk to a voice.
does your counselor know you are drinking? are you honest with them? it's a beginning.

Lots of good advice here, ovrock. I've been where you are and I know those feelings well. The alcohol only makes them worse. All you can do is keep trying. The AA rooms are full of people who have done the same thing you have. There are people in my group who have years of going in and out of the rooms before finally getting sober for good. They are an inspiration to me because that was me too ... in and out, in and back out, in and back out again ... I can tell you that this time, it's finally sticking. And it's an awesome feeling.
You can get there, I know you can. The only thing that will keep you from getting there is giving into the despair. Get yourself to a meeting, grab onto the hope that those folks offer, and get busy. You will feel so much better about yourself. You CAN conquer this thing. Please don't give up.

I can totally relate OVRock, here is one of my posts/poems on this exact subject from 2009... Life can be so much better if you put everything you have in you into getting sober & your recovery program. Cheers ~NB

I can totally relate to the "Broken Soul" thing right now, actually I wrote a poem about it recently (below).
Take care & all of the best.

Broken Soul
feeling broken today
but not sure why
my memories haunt me
no matter how hard I try
lost & bewildered
sits this broken soul
trying to figure out
how to fill up this hole
I have let alcohol
ruin my life
along with its friends
torture & strife
I need a new plan
to steer things right
to embrace & hold onto
with all of my might
so just for today
is how I must think
to save me from
that very first drink
for today I am broken
yes this is true
but I am still hopeful
of a beginning anew
