Life outta control

Hey cke,
Don't be so hard on yourself! Take it one day at a time and you can do it. Go somewhere you can't drink..the movies or go to the gym. Keep reading and posting and together we will get through this.

Life outta control

THanks guys.

I am feeling better. I am aware of this every day..I guess that is something. I just really wanted to drink yesterday and nothing was going to stop me. I guess its a lack of willpower, I don't know. I wish I could manage to say to myself...."get your ass home" but I never do...

All in time I guess

Hi CKE, you have received many great responses and I dont feel I can add too much more except this. I am not sure its willpower when it comes to this battle. At least not for me, it is mindset. No amount of willpower alone stopped me from taking drugs or drinking over the last 30 odd years but a change in my mind did. Something changed, hit rock bottom or something, and then I could do it. The struggle was nowhere near as bad as trying to white knuckle and use willpower that I had tried before.
Stay here, keep reading and posting, the support and good vibes I am sure will help you.
Your time will come. Good luck x

Wow, Evilou seemed to sum it up. Please take care of yourself. It is pointless to say I've been there and know how you feel, as nobody can share your pain and anguish. Please start to care about yourself. Be gentle to yourself. Would you treat someone else the way you are treating yourself?
I care about you.
