im new I have joined before and didn't have the strength to further my progress. I have finally hit rock bottom and reached a point that I have ruined and shredded so many possible lasting relationships I could have had. Everyday I work through withdrawals my best helps me through just for that poison. It's always on my mind when's the next one? I see her everyday and I feel so guilty for all the things I put her through. The things she puts up with. She is the only one who knows of my extent in My alcoholism, like truly... and even then I can say I hide things from her... I have ruined so much time and so many people's lives... I have wasted countless money and hours on things I don't even remember... which at this point I don't remember many of the awesome pictures and times I have!! I feel so sad and mad and stupid all at the same time!! I'm so lost and so mad at myself for being like this yet I have the option to stop and be someone different and I dont!! Uggghhh

Hello hremy,

The big question is: “Are you willing to do whatever it takes in order to recover from alcoholism”. If you are, you are on your way and if you are not, you will keep doing it over and over again.

When I tried everything else and failed, I did what I swore I would never do, and went to a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous. I have not taken a drink since that night several years ago.

Are you willing to go to an AA meeting today or as early as possible, depending on where you live?

Where alcoholism is concerned, action speaks louder than words and the day for taking action is TODAY.

It sounds like you have hit your "low" or are pretty close to it. Like you, I had ruined every relationship with lies and liquer. I had nowhere to go but the detox ward at our local hospital! That big step started me on the road to recovery and there was no turning back, because, I never, ever want to hurt my family again! I spent 4 days in detox, followed by a 3 week IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program) followed by 3 months of counseling and throughout all the treatment I received, regular attendance at AA meetings were a requirement!

9 plus years ago, I didn't want to live anymore, but I found meaning in life through the 12 steps of AA and I highly recommend! If you're interested, you can google meetings in your area.

God Bless

I was there and thankfully found help in a room of other recovering alcoholics. Now I give back and try to help others recover. Imagine how you can and will find the path to recovery. Cmon! Make a decision and get help

That first drink is the drug that our alcoholic bodies crave and one is never enough and so starts the binge ........ until of course the blackness comes and we pass out. We tell lies lies and more lies to those we love to cover our deceit, we manipulate situations to hide the true extent of our drinking.. The sheer depths we go to get our hands on that next drink and the energies we use to do so. Days wasted hungover, miserable and depressed for the booze brain to convince us that an hair of the dog is needed to make our bodies functional again!!! Yep it's a merry go round that just keeps on going round and round until we choose to get off and take control of our lives again.
I've accepted that I'm different, my body breaks down alcohol differently and ill never be able to drink "normally". I've made that choice not to drink today and each morning when I wake up I thank God for the inner strength to make the same decision again - those days soon become weeks that soon become months and a new way of life forms.
It's not easy but we are responsible for the choices we make - acceptance first followed by choice continue to make the right choices and the benefits are amazing. Good luck on your journey .

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
