This twisted path...
I see my niece look up with sober eyes, I can't help but warm up inside. I have taken no drink yet and I was having fun.Playing music for her. The least I can do... It's just that nobody really cares about watching her so much. My brother is always busy with his friends, my parents are getting so old. I feel this great sense of responsibility I know deep in my heart I shouldn't be drinking, smoking as I remember who I really am..I've become such a burden, I am sad that as I look away at those I love, they seem drift further away as I stray into madness..I need help I suppose, but sometimes I think I can only help myself. I'm tired of seeing disappointment with every step I take and as I put my hand to grab the rail it slips away...I feel so lost...

It's true that ultimately we can only help ourselves and it does come down to us. But, there are times when we all need someone, or many someones, to lean on. You will find lots of support here and I know you can become the person you want to be.

I can feel the sadness and defeat in your post, hollowx.
Reminds me of myself, when I couldn't figure a way out .
Support made all the difference for me. We have such an awesome community here at SR.
Why not lean on us for a while until you can stand on your own.
You can turn your life around, don't let the alcohol win.
You deserve better.

I couldn't agree more with Opivotal. Most of us here have been lost, down, without much hope in the world; I know I have. Once we get to a certain point with our drinking, the more we drink, those feelings are compounded, over and over again.
The good news, you absolutely can break this cycle. Lean on us as much as you can. That's the way a lot of us got and stay sober. In the beginning, I was on this site at every free moment I could get. It really helps knowing you are not alone.
Let us help you through these tough days, you deserve to get yourself better.
