I'm tired of this cycle
Hello Folks. I have a tendency to go through periods where I believe I can drink without ramifications. I keep ending up incorrect about that. I keep doing something that could completely ruin or end my life. I don't seem to see the consequences of my drinking until its to late. I continue to use but want to stop. I am not currently drinking to get drunk but drink more than I'd like to. Currently trying to stop. Just venting... thanks y'all
I feel your pain I’m the same
Hey bud It’s important if you want to stop to start taking small steps towards your goal. I’ve been clean off of heroin for 4 years and what I did to get off of it was remain positive about my self and my addiction Never give up and always try again and eventually you’ll get it
I am so negative about myself its insane. I am negative in about all aspects of life. The only thing I am confident in is work. I make myself into a hero to try to overcome my short comings of regular life where I struggle the most.

I can relate to feeling negative about myself. I am extremely self-critical even to the point of audible profane verbal abuse of myself (when I am alone). I used to struggle with physical self-harm but now the negativity is emotional, mental, and verbal. Drinking numbs the self-criticism short term but then makes everything worse long term when I feel guilty and am even more self-critical. It takes practice to see the long term consequences of our decisions and I am still struggling and learning. I wish you the best.
I totally feel you. I also convince myself that I don’t really have a problem with stopping but the truth is that I do.
