Karl, dude....accept that you have a problem....accept the help and try. It is hard. You only have one life! Just accept it and move forward!!

Everything you read here is good advise. No one will love you or respect you until you love and respect yourself....it is not a lie! Don't be so hard on yourself...take a day and try to treat yourself with love and respect. Do something nice for yourself. You will feel better. We have all had our own pity parties but that gets you no where. Focus on going forward. You are the only one that can do it for YOU!

Karl,

I have been around long enough to know your story. I am sorry you are still in pain. It can be a very bad place to let yourself stay.
Yes, I said "let" yourself stay.
Drinking won't help.
SO many people here have reached out to you, offering frendship. It is a beginning, if you let it be, Karl.

Please let yourself begin again, Karl.

I wish you happiness, and a new beginning Karl

Many hugs, :l:l:l

Karl.....I am hoping that you will come back here and respond to these heart felt posts. Your life will only improve once you get your drinking taken care of. Age in and of it self will not improve your life. Self pity and blaiming others for your condition, will not improve your life. But, ridding yourself of addictions will improve your life. Honest! It is up to you!

:new:Hey Karl

I too am a night owl with the same time difference i'm in sunny SA, yep it sucks to have a computer right next to you on the lounge while watching TV, i'm guilty of that too - we just ramble crap really.

I'm still trying to get to day one, however tonight I have been alternating my glass of sav blanc for a glass of soda water, seems to help

Wish you well in your progress and hope that we can suceed together. Though this damn hot weather doesn't help! :upset:

We can beat this one single day at a time!:h:h:h

Karl, you dont need to apologise hun. I am just glad you're back, sense of humour in tact (as it should be) and starting to look for ways out for yourself.
You know you have friends here, so dont ever feel alone OK?
We are just a pm or a thread away...yup, that sounds corny but it happens to be true x

Hey Karl,

You sound better. That's good! Reading your post reminded me of what my family used to tell me. My personality and disposition did a 180 degrees when I drank. I said mean and hateful things to the ones I loved. Must have cut their hearts like a hot knife. I wish I could take it all back now, but we know that's not possible. It took me 19 1/2 months, after becoming a member, to stop drinking, entirely. I tried every way possible to justify, try, experiment, bargain, in order to be able to continue to drink. Never worked. I can't drink like most people. It just doesn't work the same way in my body. The word "truth" comes to mind, when I think back. When I finally was truthful about how alcohol effected every aspect of my life, and what the consequences had been, I felt a shift, in my knowing. I knew that I had to stop. We do care Karl, that's why we are here. I have been AF for 9 1/2 months and I still come. We never know when we may say something to someone else, that causes that shift, in their knowing. Keep at it! Hugs, Best
