Can't do it anymore
I was in AA and sober for three years when I relapsed. I thought I could drink like everyone else who isn't alcoholic but I found out what I secretly knew but didn't fully admit to myself. I am an alcoholic and cannot drink at all, ever! It took a particularly humiliating and hurtful experience to make me realize that I just don't want to do this anymore. The shame and guilt are too much and I am ready to make that change, honestly, no games. I look at my recent life and feel such sorrow and shame.....how did I lose my self respect? What do others think of me? Why do I let people I don't particularly like treat me so disrespectfully? I have had enough! I want my self respect back. I want to be able to hold my head up and feel worthy of the good things in life. No more regret....no more shame....no more guilt....no more sickness.
...holds the key

Glad you're here! 
This can be the beginning of the life you want, free of regret and shame.
For me, thats one of the best things about being sober!...Waking up with no regrets!
You deserve that too!
