    hoping this time....

    I've been a binge drinker for 9 years, I'm 25 now and im very intelligent with a good job and my own mortgage and im successful but there is one thing in my life that is damaging my life, alcohol! time and time again i have told myself im quiting drinking, never drinking again to going back to the drink again many times. I Am in a big hole right now but i've put myself in it due to my drinking. I've been sober now for 5 days. I'm hoping i can this time stay sober as i have lost so much due to my drinking problem over the years, and i mean huge losses due to binge drinking.

    there is alot of pain and hurt inside of me. I could get high again and get drunk but it has severe consequences everytime. I will keep sober now and not die from the disease i have, alcoholism. I will keep you all posted on here to tell you how i am doing. I hope i don't relapse.


    thanks for reading and god bless you all.

    You got to do more then hope that you can do it. You got to have a plan set up and do it and believe that you can do it.

    I believe that you can do it and hang in there.
    I quit drinking on March 8, 2020. Taking it One Day At A Time and no more taking my quit for granted.

    Also doing it for me. I got to stay sober for me.

    Just consecrate on today and do what you can to remain sober for today and worry about staying sober tomorrow, tomorrow.

      Agree hoping is no good, I done this for years, thinking I would magically stop drinking but it never happened I wasted years and years in the clutches of alcoHELL. Death like hangovers, drunken incidents. insomnia and upsetting just about everyone.

      Now thats all gone, simply by not drinking and never drinking again.

      You have everything to gain and absolutely nothing to lose.

      Good luck.
      Sober since 13th January 2012

          :welcome: luke! Good for you getting a handle on this at a young age. I wish I had done that! You are not alone here, that's for sure. My thought was like Drifty and 199 - Hoping to stop didn't work for me either. I had to make a plan. And when the plan didn't work, I had to revise the plan. Byrdlady is right - the toolbox is a great place to get ideas for your plan.

          You can do this. Why give AL even one more minute of your life??

            Thanks for the replys everyone, I'm still AF. Day 6 approaching soon. I'm doing well, staying strong.

            I need to be true to myself that alcohol wasn't for me and never will be for me.
