Welcome to SR!
Many of us had reached a point of loosing pretty much everything, health included. I let go of the bottle, got sober and now things are slowly improving.
You can as well, make a plan, get the support you require. There are so many options such as SR, AA, AVRT, SMART recovery.
Living sober is not easy, but possible.

Hi and welcome.
The road down the recovery path is simple, not always easy and that depends on our memory and our ability to NOT repeat the errors of our past.
It’s simple to say this will work “If we don’t pick up the first drink we won’t have to try to get sober AGAIN.” This fact along with a lot of work has worked for many for a lot of years.
A big help might be remembering how you felt when writing the above post and knowing you never have to feel that way again by keeping sobriety first.
BE WELL

Welcome, Drunkwriter, to SR. I am sorry to hear that you have lost everything.
There is a way to a better life and a way to hopeful future. Sobriety can play a large role.
Glad you found us.

Welcome. Binging is my problem too. I realised I cannot recover alone, it just does not work for me. I am clinging on to dear life, possibly the last thread of keeping things together.
You will find good support here.

I do. Start group therapy for alcohol and also behavioral therapy for child abuse this week. I got an appointment, found a meeting as soon as possible. Spouse has checked out emotionally. Can't deal with it anymore. Angry and hurt and doesn't understand how abandonment issues that I have from childhood can push away the people I love. I'm also getting back to the gym and doing yoga and meditation as well as cardio and weight training through various outlets.
I'm just sad that it took losing everything to get me moving on tackling my issues.
