around and around...

Hey SR,

Well here I am again for I don't know the 5th time I guess...

Not entirely sure what to say to be honest, even as I write this I am thinking "meh, it's payday in two days I'll drink then..."

Been awhile since I tried to get sober, I have had the odd day off in the last year, not for any other reason than being skint, tonight being one of those days and a particularly good one as my partners stash of weed has run dry too...

And here I am in the bath (because that will help right!) Feeling sorry for myself like a child who lost his favourite toy. But you guys know all this, isn't like I am the only one suffering here. HA! Suffering! Some word to pick eh for something so ridiculous as not having beer. Still, can't help but be a selfish b***ard most of the time and I seem to be especially good at it when not drinking.

Anywho been thinking about quitting again for the past few weeks,honestly only because I am so deep in s**t financially that I must. But gotta try something, anything to get out of this mess (life) I am in. So here I am.

AoS

The solutions to your money problems will come when you stop drinking.

Hey there,

Yes have to quit, I knew this last year when I was in a slightly better place than I am now (financially & emotionally)

Sorry about the earlier post, full of self pity tonight, just wanted to vent and get out out, felt somewhat better about it.

Tough night ahead from past experience wanted to just connect...

Thanks for replying

Welcome back AofS

you know the solution to all your problems, as well as we do.
It all starts with putting down the bottle and not picking it up again...

The hurdle is accepting that as necessary, and making the required changes in your life and your thinking.

I really hope you're ready to do whatever it takes, cos it doesn't get any better out there - it really doesn't.

Hey AoS, are you committed to actually quitting as you want to quit?

For me I really needed to accept that Sobriety was the way forward for it to work regardless of whether I had money in the bank or not, it needs to be a change of mindset for lasting change to take place!!

You can do this!!

Make this your time to succeed. Put the damn bottle down for good this time. Do whatever it takes to stay sober. Try something you haven't tried before. Just do something to stop drinking.
