This morning...
I woke up with a voice that said "you're done." I am 63 and have had trouble with alcoholism since my late 20s. I also have PTSD. I found SR and am just reaching out for experience, strength and hope. Thank you!

Regret
Thank you! I am struggling with regret and I don't know how to forgive myself and move on. The voice in my head just keeps going over and over all of the mistakes I have made. They overpower the positive things I have done.
Hey beach20- Welcome!
This morning is the perfect time to be "done." This site offers a lot of support, which can help with just that.
We all have regrets, but I think as you move forward in your goals of being 'done,' the positive stuff will start to overshadow your regrets.
I look forward to seeing you around in here.

Beach, you cannot unring the bell, as they say.
What you can do is move forward and not add any more negatives to your story.
I did a lot of things of which I am not proud, but I don't do them any more. If I didn't learn from those mistakes, that would be a lot worse, right?

Hi.
I was shown that we have choices in sobriety and the past is over. I don’t have to repeat it under the influence of alcohol.
I prefer to have a more healthy mind by not drinking one day at a time in a row.
It may take time but things usually work if we let them.
BE WELL

Hello beach.
As a newbie to this forum with many a failed attempt at sobriety I've found this forum to be a tower of strength, support, help and encouragement.
Even just noodling around reading old posts I find helpful and reassuring.
"I'm Done" sounds a fantastic start to me

Welcome Beach. I had a similar voice too.
Anyone who has a drinking past has regrets, I think. I know I do.
Could I suggest that AA might be helpful for you as a good way of working on them ?
Look around, there are many experiences here which you will find helpful, and tons of support.
