It's just so sad
I'm new at this. I can't seem to stop after years of denial, I still pick it up. I stay sober for days, it hurts. My body feels like it's dying. Yet, I do it again. It's a never ending process. What I would like to hear, is everything will be ok. And a promise.

I went through treatment
In treatment I felt awful. But I did it. And everything seemed to come together.i felt like a kid again. I was treated like a kid. Hell I was the only one there for alcoholism. Everyone else was on heroin. Something I've never done. And I feel confident, that I thought I was better than my heroin people.
Then I realized, I'm worse. I need advice. Please could someone give me advice.

Well, looks like the time has come to face it, no more denials...
I can promise you that it is your choice. I can promise you that this painful cycle breaks if you choose sobriety. You can do it!

You are truly in a bind; in the throes of alcoholism. But you can get out. For me it took me getting utterly disgusted with myself and crawling off to the nearest drug and alcohol centre and ask for help. That day I swore to never drink again. I may be only 13 days sober but for me, that's a major achievement. Esp. when I think back to how I felt I couldn't not drink just one day. You can do it too. Just strengthen your resolve.

Hi and welcome sweettommy 
I was distraught and desperate too - and then I found this community.
Become a regular poster, read around - there really is strength in numbers
For 15 years I tried and failed to quit...I'm now nearly 10 years sober so change really is possible

I was in the same place. Many many times. Many years of wanting to stop. Wanting to be a different version of myself. Wanting to be free from self sabotage and active alcoholism.
SR has been instrumental for me and sobriety.
Keep posting.

No one knows if it will be okay, if you will be okay. No one can promise that. There are no guarantees, no realistic assurances.
I can, however, make one promise with certainty: if you stop drinking, you and your life will change.
