Anyone need any help??
Ive been a member of SR for 6 months. I’ve had some wonderful sober times but keep going back to the drink. Terrible weekend (I don’t want to talk about it)
I’m trying something different. Anyone want any help with anything? I’m restricted to online (so no, I can’t tend your garden!) but if anyone wants a word of encouragement then I’m your man. I’m the worst type of failing drunk - I was the worst type of failing drunk - but I am keen to help others as they help me.
I don’t take myself too seriously. I DO need to get and stay sober and I find the advice and support of people on here very valuable.
So - what can I do for you?

Well it's 3:25am here and I have been awake for 3 days. I am detoxing from the booze and have an unshakable sense of impending doom. Blacked out last week a couple times. Lost keys and wallet.
I really need to stop this sh*t

I tried to run when I could barely walk.
I've done NO coke since beginning of Dec. I have no desire or thoughts about it. I know ill never do any type of drugs again. I'm 100% sure on that.
I want that mind set for booze as well,.....
I'm back on the bus....
I will NOT drink today.......
Tomorrow is a new day, an a step closer to a brighter future........
I know I'm not alone.........and actually believe it this time
I'm posting, reading, talking, being kind to myself.
And to remember ........just get through today
Much love to you taooo.......I hope you are ok, and smashing it ...

I was doing really well until Friday when I relapsed. I was so annoyed with myself and felt too embarrassed to come on here and admit it. In fact, that's exactly what i should have done. I'm still on the path...

I am having a bad morning. I have been stressed out lately and short-fused. It seems like everytime I get myself to a 'happy place' I have something that sets me off. This morning I was just waking up and my bf showed me a book he read at the airport titled SOBER. Well it put me in a very defensive mood for some stupid reason. Now I feel like crying.

Its ok to cry Chloe. I often burst in to tears (when sober) at very inopportune times. Start thinking about something happening to one of my kids, its not even real stuff that makes me cry, its imagined in my head.
And Neighbours of course. They start playing that sad music and I am off!
What do you do to get yourself in the happy place? Its hard to change mood by will but maybe there is something you can do to take you there?
God I am good at this, I hope you realise all this "wisdom" is actually aimed straight at myself!!!

I was so tempted to drink today. I felt like "running away" into an alcoholic haze but, I saw this thread and it saved me from disaster. REALLY.
Yes, I let myself cry like a baby. It is pure frustration, sadness and lonliness that I am feeling. I know that drinking only makes it worse so I am gaining the strength I need to make it another sober day.
