Dazed,
Yes, just keep reading and reading and things will start to make sense. This is the start of a new beginning. Being sick of it will propel you into figuring out what you can do to change.
YOU can do it. Just stick to it.
So many times I have said the same thing. "I am sick of this" Now I am ready to change. YOU will get there.
Keep reading my friend.
Hugs,Narilly

Welcome to MWO. Feel free to read posts and respond. Take it ODAAT.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.

Dazed, hope you're doing well. Getting sober is a big deal and if you look too far down the road you can get overwhelmed by the enormity of it all. Take very little bites at the sobriety apple. It's an overused cliche but please try and take it one day at a time. The further in you get the easier it is to look down the road. Secondly, in this case its ok to be totally selfish. Your recovery takes precedent over every other aspect of your life. Without recovery nothing else really matters anyway.Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure nor this thing nor that but simply growth, We are happy when we are growing.

On my knees
On my knees praying, I really want to go to work tomorrow and yet I can't stop drinking. I have planned such lovely things for the next few days and would like to deliver them.
Today I went on the worst bender of my life, have snapped and sworn at my family, begged my doctors for diazepam, it is the middle of the night here and I am waiting for the emergency doc to ring me back . This has all got to change. If I go on like this I will die.
If I can get through this I will never drink again, but I need something to get me through this withdrawal.
I hate alcohol and what it has done to me and my life.New life started on 1st May 2014, One day at a time I will work at continuing it forever!
