i went to a benefit for a freind who was in a drunk driving motorcycle accident. it was to "benefit" him and help with his medical bills and apartment. i drank, woke up in the hospital without any recollection of my condition. acute alcohol intoxication. i have had periods of sobriety lasting months, been to 2 rehabs and a crisis center. i am scared that i am going to kill myself with my disease. i am 37 years old and am going to start attending meetings again. i want to live so bad! my life seems like it is out of control. just talking to try to convince myself that sobriety is possible for me. thanx for listening

Sobriety is possible for you. Take one step at a time. Ask for help. Go to meetings. And above all, don't give up. You can do it!!!

Behavior is changed through trial and error. put a rat in a maze through trial and error he will find the exit. Behavior is changed with consequences and benefit. You can teach a chicken to play mary had a little lamb using consequences and benefits. Through trial and error I conclude that I am an alchoholic. I can not drink because of the consequences: 1. being arrested. 2. Financial costs. 3. Harmful to mental and physical health. Benefits of sobriety: 1. no fear of being arrested. 2. saving money. 3. feel better mentally and physically. Turned my past, my future, my will and my life over to a higher power. have courage, do not take that first drink. live in the present one day at a time. Do not be sensitive to criticism, be assertive and calm. embrace reality. embrace humility. become a better and stronger person. thank you. just laying out a few thoughts about how I am staying sober.

best regards, Dan

Get the first half of the first step and admit you are powerless.
If you don't drink you can't get drunk.
Don't put the liquid to your lips, and the rest works it self out.
May God Bless You! :twisted:

Hello...

I read Dan's post...He has given you some good advise.
To live in the light of the spirit, we've got to turn our will and our lives over to the care of a HP.
If you do not have one, I strongly suggest you get one and stick close to it. Even if it is on a moment by moment basis. Becuase your HP is the only thing that is going to come between you and that first drink.
I've a history of drug addiction also...
Trust me when I say you need a HP's love to overcome.
Go to meetings, and also try to get one on one with a very spiritual person. Or find one at your church.
But do it. Not everyone in AA is spiritual in a sense that they are on or have worked the 11th Step.
Go to meetings and be of service. Being of service will get you out of your head man.
Go to great lengths and keep coming back until the miracle happens.
Don't be one of the those who are constitutionally incapable of getting this program.
Its yours if you want, all you have to do is work it cuz your worth it.
Much Peace and love.

I see that the origional post is a few months old. I hope things worked out for you.
Remember the desparation of the dying. You are where you need to be right now. We dont decide to get sober when things are going ok. Get to a meeting and remember this, NOT ONE of the people there who you see laughing and having fun came in to the rooms singing and jumping. We all have that guilt, shame and remorse.
