Many of us have been there. I had to look at my path without distortion or embellishment and decide if what I was choosing, reflected what I most deeply valued.

You have to keep trying finalcall
Fall down seven, get up eight, you know?

Many times for me too Finalcall.

I could no longer endure it and had to decide. So much better now at a little over 3 months.

I kept falling down but eventually got up, and stayed up.

You can too. Let the plan be 24 hours. That's all it takes to begin.

Hi FC
i would have trouble lasting a week sober. Something about Friday and not having to wake up early the next day was irresistible. I have made plans to go sober on Monday. Only to fail miserably on Friday. Sometimes Tuesday!

i have failed so many times it became demoralising and I had started to wonder whether I had it in me to do this. I can’t say how or when.. but something changed in Nov/Dec last year. I truly started having the most terrible hangovers and anxiety. It got so bad that sobriety started to be the less painful option. I think I had to cross that threshold.

I quit in mid December but messed up on New Year’s Eve. I woke up with such anger, disgust and self loathing. i also haven’t had a drink since.

keep at it. Dust yourself off and start again. You can be done with this today.

It was like that for me too Clark.

I've been right where you are, too. Final. I hope you come back! Sometimes it takes being in a terrible place mentally to get us to the point where we're ready to put sobriety ahead of everything else and go for it. Let us know how you're doing, even if it's not good at all. This is a place you can get unconditional support and help.

I can empathise with you FC. I went through several awful years of binge drinking, promising myself I would stay sober, lasting a couple of days and then drinking again.....The sense of hopelessness and defeat was awful and I hated myself.
I am still not there yet but slowly, over time, it has become easier and I am sober for longer. I need to learn how to cope with each day and how to have a somewhat normal life and routine. The drinking becomes the abnormal, the hangovers are the abnormal days. Being sober becomes more and more important.

You can do this.
