Alcoholism Support Group
Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life. If you think alcohol is causing you to lose control, it's time to seek help. Our group is a safe place to vent, check in, get back up if you fall, and reach sobriety.
No matter how many times I try to quit, I can't.
After a few days sober, I get the urge to drink, and that's it. I start.
I'm a binge drinker, who'll spend the whole day drinking, and then the next couple days sick. Then back to drinking. Talk about insanity. And been doing this for 15 years.
I read the BigBook. I go online to read all that alcohol does to a person physically, mentally, and spiritually. Yet, I pour that poison into my body.
Sometimes, I feel I'll doomed to die an alcoholic, and seem to have resigned myself to that fact.
What makes someone willing to lose everything for the sake of a drink? Why can't I be stronger than something that it ready to take my life? I always looked at alcoholics as being weak. I know now that it's quite the opposite. I must be strong, after all I keep fighting with myself. And losing.
Hope everyone's having a better day than me. But, tomorrow will be better. And SOBER, I'm praying.

Go to a meeting. Doing the 12 steps alone isnt advisable, and working on yourself...well you are where we were when we first started to try to quit. Sick. So get some help from someone who is living in the solution. I'd suggest AA. In person. Go immediately.
If you need more, go to rehab. But take this seriously as its deadly serious and you are drinking yourself to death.
The information and instructions given in the Big Book can save your life and help you to recover but you will need some help with that so please go to a meeting and get a sponsor!
Please feel free to pm me if I can help

You're reading the big book but are you going to AA or some other group? It is important to have fellowship with like-minded people as non-alkies just can't relate even if they really try and want to.
Is your dependence a physical one or emotional one/ I am taking Camparal which is designed to curb the urges and it seems to be working. Perhaps discuss medication with your medical professional.
Don't give up and keep working towards the goal. Also don't beat yourself up too much. It took a long time to get to where you are now and the road to recovery will also be a long one but it can be manageable if you take it one day at a time. Sometimes you need to take it one hour at a time or say to yourself when the urge hits "I won't drink for this hour" this may give you time to reconsider and to let the urge dissipate.
Go to treatment. Best thing I ever did, I'm me again finally.
