Oh, I think you know the answer to that animalnurse 
It's very important to remember that the way you feel now is not the way you may feel tomorrow or next week, or next year.
Drink can drive us to despair but there is hope, there is recovery and there is a happy future
It's also very important you reach out -= do you have any friends, relatives or people you could talk to?
there are helplines too:
Helplines and support services
If you need to talk to someone other than emergency services, try these helplines:
Below is a list of some of the services available which offer support, information and help. All services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week unless otherwise specified.

Hey nurse, my heart goes out to you, so sorry for your pain. Those dark feelings are a warning cry from yourself that you need to take action. Those feelings can be bio physical and or they can also be emotional cues that you just don't want to feel anymore pain!
Do you have anyone you can talk to face to face?
Hug to you!!!!!

The answer is no.
It would not make anything better.
It would be the end of a beautiful soul; we would lose a special woman who has so very much to give.
I have been there.
Many of us have...I can only thank God every day that I didn't die when I was in the very deepest darkest despair.
You may not feel as if you matter right now, but you do.
You matter to me; you matter to all of us who are here on SR.
Please reach out to one of the support avenues Dee has posted here....
I promise you, there are better days ahead.
So much love to you,
Venus xx

No, it wouldn't be better. You'd just be dead and not able to enjoy a sober life which is abtainable. Many of us here are doing it. You can too.
Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
I know of what you speak. I drank suicidaly and was killing myself on the installment plan.
I've also been suicidal in my life. Why live when all I do is drink and deal with the wreckage of my past and the horrors of being hungover?
But, I quit. Things aren't all roses and puppy dogs, but they are so much better.
I'm also mentaly ill and have suicidal thoughts. But that's all they are: thoughts. I do not act on them.
I feel for you. We're here for you. As you can tell by the answers you've recieved in the posts above.
Keep coming back. Post as often as you need to. Get help.
My very best to you.

I'm glad you were able to talk it through and it helped.
There are many of us who have felt that way. I remember my dark times. Just try and hold on to the thought that things really do get better the longer we are sober x
