Thank you for your replies. I am going to start from scratch tomorrow, well I guess that would be Wednesday.

Hang in there, Whopper. All is not lost. You've just got to find an approach that works to get sober.

Whatever was said drinking is only hurting you I had to learn to believe in myself & stay authentic I also had to learn to love myself I don't mean ego I mean knowing who I am - btw I'm still finding out lol

The world is a cold hard place no one hits as hard as life and it will keep you there on your knees if you let it

My advice is dust yourself down review your sobriety plan & surround yourself here with friends who care

Hi, I am going to fight this thing-alcoholism. I want this year to be different for me, not just another waste of a year of me sulking and drinking. I want to change my life. I really like that youtube video you posted. I was a big gym fan, I would go on average 4 times a week and do both weights +cardio. I know the gym works, I have seen results. I want this year to be the year I can be a successful member of SR. I want to make the change, I want to live the life I want, not a life where the bottle controls me and my outcome. Hopefully I can do it. I want to show you all that I can.

Honestly I think Yoda has this right:

if you give this everything you've got, you will succeed

There's no doubt you can do it, whopper. You sound ready for this big change in your life. Drinking holds us down and steals our spirit. It does nothing for us, and never can. I think you've learned that.
