I remember that feeling. A desperate plea for help to a bunch of internet strangers. Just putting the message out there and hoping for something… anything that helps.
You are 100% in the right place to find the light. Spend some time with us, read around and let it sink in that all these people know what you are going through and how to get out of it. Open your heart to trying anything suggested to find what works for you and start making your plan to get out of the loop you are stuck in.
Above all, don’t just post once and disappear. KEEP COMING BACK. And I cannot stress this enough. Come back, every day, every hour. Something goes in every time you come back and eventually you will have gathered enough strength to take action and make the change.

Every day. Without fail. It is part of my recovery tool box and helps keep me sober. I try to post in these 3 threads every day if I can and mostly do a lot of reading and learning.

I’m 34 been on the life for like 19 it’s hard
may I ask something
Of course - ask away! If I don’t know the answer I am sure someone sensible will come along and help us out.
in my case why don’t I care like to get sober I have everything goin for me ? idk I can’t understand it I want sobriety everyday I think I wish upon it and nothing… sorry I just unloaded on u a lil thats why I joined a group 
I don’t think its about not caring. Deep down you do care or you would not be reaching out here. That is what being an addict is. We don’t want to be this way but we don’t have the will power or strength to stop.
Unfortunately it takes more than wishing for it. We have to work for it. That is hard in the beginning because we don’t really know how to work for it. Thats why you come here every day so you can figure out what your plan to get clean and sober is going to look like and then with all our support you start to work that plan.
The beauty of this community is that we all do it differently, AA, SMART, Recovery Dharma, no groups, meetings, no meetings. I do a bit of all of it since I am still early days sober and don’t feel like anything I do to help my recovery is wasted.

Being blunt, you need to stay away from the things that harm you, being drink, drugs or a person. Myself, I drink too much and I’m lucky to have loving people around me. I don’t buy booze and stay out of the pub… I do visit here often don’t always type but do always read… One day at a time, and try to go to bed sober.
