My sister just died of alcoholism after years of struggling and my father has alcohol related. I was caring for both of them. It’s become too much for me to handle. I want a drink so bad to calm my nerves but I know I can’t. I don’t want to end up like everyone in my family. I just don’t know what to do.

I’m so sorry to hear that. You have right on front of you evidence what alcohol can do to your life. What have you tried so far? It seems like you haven’t been on here in a while. Especially in the early days the support, advice and company of other alcoholics is invaluable. You also need to learn about the progress of addiction and recovery. Some good resources here.

I’m sorry you have to go trough this pain. That’s hard 
But like you mentioned yourself: you do not want to end up like this.
So what have you done for your recovery so far and what can you add?
Maybe go to a meeting? Ore find an online one?
If I have strong cravings/emotions I go outside and surrounder myself by nature. It helps me to get out of my head and adress my emotions.
You are going to a tough time right now and that is going to be it for a while. So you need all the help you can get.
We are here for you!
