    Am I strong enough?

    I've been here before, last year. I stopped drinking for 4 months, following the book to the letter and with rx.Topa. But I've lost my way and spend everyday in this cycle of self hatred and drinking to escape it. If I don't stop I'm going to lose everything....my partner and most likely my children. However, the thought of life without it again terrifies me. The stuff that came back to haunt me was unbearable. I guess I'm a coward!

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not a victim, I don't suffer fools gladly, which makes it even worse!! Does that make sense? Sorry, I'm rambling.

    Hi there Lushliar,

    I know where you are coming from. I too suffer from bouts of self-hatred and self-doubt. I've been drinking excessively for more than twenty years now and it has cost me two marriages (not to mention lots of other relationships) and I sickened my two children so much that they have had nothing to do with me for over two years. However I have mended fences with one of my kids and now we get on fine. The other still won't speak to me though after what I put the family through. Try not to do anything that will jeopordise your family situation, but' in saying that' you have got to do this for you. I have tried on a few occasions to kick this habit, but always failed and the monster comes out worse than before. I've now done 7 days af and its been tough.

    Stick in! I wish you well

            If you did it before, you can definately do it again. Find that strength, it is in there.

              You did it once before so you CAN do it again. You know where you went wrong so it's from there you learn from your mistake & move on. Welcome back. Never give up.

                    Hi LL - :welcome: back, and as everyone says - you can do it! - believe in yourself, keep focused on what you want and where you want to get to - you've done it before, now do it again - for you, your children and your relationship - it's not worth losing things that are so precious to this demon we've called a friend for so long.

                    Warmest wishes,
                    :rays: Arial

                      How do you feel good about yourself again - for me this is my first time posting.. I'm so sick of myself, it just seems too overwhelming after 18 years of losing the battle with the bottle. After this weekend, I am afraid I'll be dead next time.
