Waking up at 3 am every night is the loneliest part of my life. I hate myself so much for turning into an alcoholic. Its all my fault and I just suck at living.

Sorry I didn't mean to send my opinion before I was finished. I sobered up 36 years ago & haven't had a drink since. I texted to quit many times & failed every time. I just couldn't set my glass aside untill I was really ready to quit because I had no other place to go. I went to a inpatient rehab for 60 days and got really sober but I couldn't do that till I was ready. After rehab I went to AA every day for a long time I don't even know how long but it was long enough that I was able to skip days without feeling I had to find a drink. I made a lot of friend in AA so I always had someone to talk to. Without that there is no doubt in my mind I would have relapsed. I still think about drinking but it's just passing thoughts. The best advice I can give you is find someone to talk to that knows what it's like. Call them when you feel down and hopeless. That's why AA works so good there is always somebody to talk to that will listen and understand. I can't give you any better advice then that. That's how it works. It worked for me and a lot of other good people and it will work for you if you work it.

I made it my first day without drinking in at least a month or 2. It feels really good knowing I didn't waste 8 bucks on a huge bottle of wine today. And ill actually sleep through the night for once. I'm feeling proud of myself for once and I'm hanging on to that feeling 🙊

I’m thankful for your share. It helps me recall how difficult getting sober is.

It’s 11am and for some reason I really crave a drink I don’t normally drink until the late evening night time and it’s unusual for me to crave anything stronger than wine anyone else been through something similar

Admitting that I’ve started again is hard. I used to drink to numb my depression and then I worked hard to stop. I only drank socially and had fun but never felt the urge again. I thought it was gone. The past year has been hell but I started not being able to handle it and felt like I was drowning in my depression. Today I feel numb while sitting alone with a can. I drank yesterday and the day before and am realizing I can’t remember the last night I went with out having a drink to numb. I need the feeling of being numb. One to two does it. I don’t think about it anymore, I don’t even realize I have the drink it’s like it’s habitual now. But tonight I really wanted it. I felt like I needed it. I don’t know what to do.

Hey everyone! I’ve joined this community because my dad passed three years ago this May, after a battle with alcohol that consumed nearly 40 years and eventually won. I reserve all judgement and I’m here to help however i can because I’ve seen how it ends. Please feel free to talk to me.

The struggle is real. It’s been a real struggle mentally for the past few weeks but I’m still trying to push through. When people say stay strong mentally, that’s kinda overrated. I realize that the past few weeks. Anyone ever get the feeling at times, it’s just you against the world. Specially fams. Fams can can be the worst.

Going to start next week push myself to stop smoking completely. I've tried before with nicotine patches and nicotine chewing gum but didn't help much.

i just arrived in a new town in a new state. sleeping in the car for a day or two then camping and searching for land to buy so i can put down roots. but its tempting to drink a little when it gets late and im parked for the night 😕 i know i shouldnt and this is the time for a new start so im going to try to find an AA meeting tomorrow after i get all my stuff done. this is just alot of crazyness and change for someone whose life has been super boring the last 3 years.

So... I just broke 9-10 months of sobriety all because I had my heart broken/feelings hurt by a girl that I was talking to for a week. She had taken a selfie of herself sitting in her baby daddy’s lap and he made it his cover photo on Facebook and I’m talking arms around each other and everything...I feel so ashamed because I’ve had gone through this feeling before (I’m always getting done bogus by women)

This year has been hell and I feel like the only things that helps numb everything is alcohol. I'm a functioning alcoholic and alcohol isn't the issue but I don't know how else to forget.... Even if it's just for a few hours...

So, I’m a functioning alcoholic/drunk...have been for years. I was forced to get sober in 2019 because of a DUI. I had to lie to myself during that time that sobriety wasn’t that bad and had to learn how to cope with “heartbreak” (I’m the type of person that falls insanely too hard too fast for someone) sober. I had thought that I did...UNTIL the court took me off of condition release (in home breathalyzer that I had to blow all zeros into everyday three times a day). As soon as I got out of the courthouse, I went straight to the liquor store and bought SO many bottles and broke that 9 month sobriety. Then I had to back to my hometown in my home state. Got sober for another 9 months and...I recently broke that all because the girl I was talking to for a week took a picture of herself sitting in her baby daddy’s lap smiling with their arms around each other and posted it to Facebook...

My friends and I always have had zoom hangouts once every couple of months and we all usually drink. One of my friends has been dealing with alcoholism and has been sober for a couple of months now. Idk if it’s insensitive if everyone still drinks of it they just put it in no obvious glasses so. Or maybe do where everyone can bring a drink and put it in a random glass or cup and it can be alcoholic or non alcoholic. What’s the best thing to do? Or should I just ask her how she feels? I wanted to ask other people’s opinions first before I go to her because I don’t want to make her uncomfortable

I realize that a good support system is a requirement of change. When the people you love tear you down, you go straight to your comfort, which for me is alcohol. Today was not a good day for me. I hope everyone else’s day has been better
