Just Wanting to Say Hello and I’m Still Alive
 
Still drinking, in a cycle of wanting to be sober but not quite enough...so I won’t bore you with repetative old stories. I come and read often. Usually when I am depressed about my drinking. You will ask “what is your plan to move forward?” I don’t have a plan but coming here. For now that’s it. Thanks to all who remind me they’ve been where I am.

Being alive is good. Hearing you're still choosing to drink isn't All your posts say the same thing. Perhaps one day you'll save yourself from wasting time at the bottle.

SR isn't enough for you, it seems, as you are still drinking. Why not more support? Why not a formal substance abuse program?

Not ready to give up drinking?

Hi Oregongirl site. Assuming you as alcoholic as I was, and knowing what I know about alcoholism, I might have written something along the lines of " Still dying, in a cycle of wanting to live but not quite enough".

For alcoholics like me, the desire to not drink isn't quite enough either. In fact the baffling thing was the total inability to leave it alone no matter how great the desire or the wish.

There is a solution, it requires desire, but also a lot of work. I never found a way to stop that only involved passively listening to others and doing nothing for my self, unless you count being in a cell or confined to a hospital bed as a solution.

What do you think it would take for you to make a plan and follow it oregongirlsite?

Why not try to be sober tonight, today, right now? Not a big promise. Just a day. And see where it takes you.

I wish you well.
