I need help

I have to stop this drinking! It's such a problem for me. It's my life long struggle. I want to stop. I love the feeling of being sober, so why do I keep going back to the alcohol? It's like a bad relationship. I feel very alone. Am I going to be OK?

Hi and welcome Bronzie

When I got to SR I didn't know if I could ever stop drinking - but the support advice and encouragement here helped me to turn things around, and find some hope for the future again.

I know we can help you too - you're going to be OK

D

Do you have a quit plan or are you winging it at the moment?

Thank you all for responding. Just hearing from others who have been there helps me so much. I am going to be ok. I can do this. No I don't have a specific plan, how do I get one? What do I need to do? My plan right now is just never ever take a drink again. I can live without it and have a wonderful life.

Bronzie,
I'm stuck back at day 1 too. Let's do this together. And Dee is proof it can be done.
You're going to be ok.

Thanks Bronzie. I woke up early and poured everything out. I have to turn this around, I'm making myself miserable.
I hope you have a great day.
