What's going on?

i tired of fighting. i like myself and my family so much more when i dont drink but the craving is so powerful. i hate waking up in the mornings cuz i know it is going to be a battle.

I'm sorry you are having a tough time.

It won't be a battle forever; it does get easier. But you have to work through it.

Have you tried AA or other program? Maybe it would help you to be with people who have been through this who can give you the tools and show you the steps to achieve and maintain sobriety.

Sorry you are feeling defeated this morning. You can do this, but make sure you get the help you need.

Kluvswt, you are sick and tired of being sick and tired, right? I gather from previous posts on this thread that you have not yet walked into any AA meeting. It seems your attempts to quit on your own are not working for you. Okay, then try another tactic and go to a local AA meeting.

As for the battle, I don't think it ever ends. After more than two decades of sobriety, I still have battles. I've just learned from AA how to fight and win. I hear the same thing from other Oldtimers.

Do yourself the favor of reaching out at an AA meeting. Everyone there has been where you are, and they will gladly share their knowledge and experiences to help you out of the bottle.

Good luck to you!

When you're sick and tired of being sick and tired , thats when you make things happen. Make no mistake God will let you punish yourself for as long as you want. Just know that hes there to help when you finally decide to surrender. Surrender your self ,your self will, and self-centeredness to a power greater than yourself. Right now that greater power is alcohol. Right now alcohol is controlling your life . Surrender to that power we call God and change will happen.
