Life in the fast line will definitely catch up with you at some point. Even rock stars who are professional party goers eventually have to slow down. Hope you make it through work today and come back to this site and get some ideas on how to remain sober. Wish you the best.

I just wanted to add that really does sum up what happened to me very simply. Drink too much too often. You feel wretched and insecure. You withdraw, isolate, and give up. It's suicidal.

I felt the same way. I listed to the addiction voice that told me that using made things better, made things easier, just one more day, just one more time, it isn't that bad, I'll quit tomorrow. I woke up one morning 24 days ago and finally realized I had been being deceived by the evil monster that is addiction. My desire to quit was finally more than my desire to use. I told my husband about my secret addiction, I told my family, I came to SR for support, I got a counselor, I got an addiction doctor, I quit. Quitting tomorrow won't be easier than quitting today. Ask your loved ones for help. You aren't bad, you aren't just a weak person, you are here admitting your problem. You are strong, you CAN get sober and stay sober! Don't believe the evil lies. Prayers.
