Hi Lala,
Don't be discouraged....No One Is Hopeless!
I was in and out of AA for 13 years - once made a year - but went out again.........until one day I entered a bar, ordered and paid for the drink but I couldn't drink it. I was *afraid* of it. I knew that it meant something terminial....sooner rather than later - being put in an institution, jail or *death*.
That was my "moment of truth" - drinking was no longer an option.......no matter what!
Alcohol is the "great eraser" - it will erase your family, friends, job, self-respect......and your life.
Prior to that "moment of truth" I had "conditional sobriety" i. e. it was dependent on my moods, people places and things.....now I stay sober for *myself*!
I direct you to my column here on EOR - it's called "the forgotton children of AA" - it's for people like you and me........slippers.
Feel free to dump all your fears, frustations and confusion there or post me privately.
It's people like you that I have empathy for.....since...I've been there and done that!
BTW that "moment of truth" ocurred 27 years ago!
If I can stay sober,,,so can YOU!
Hang in there...DINAO (Drinking Is Not An Option)
Luv.........Tiger

Welcome back (((lala)
I tried to get sober my way for eight years and as a result I didn't get here until the later years of my life. We do this one day at a time, please keep coming so you don't have to come back.
