Theres no point beating yourself up a out it Rob. Try to remember what got you to that mindset to start drinking / using again, then avoid it if you can. Something went wrong for you, and it needs some attention.
Welcome back on the sober road. One day at a time

It was lonliness. I didn’t want to be alone. I cannot bare my sober self for some reason.
I like to abuse him.
It’s not me. This is me. It’s crazy. What’s wrong with me.

Nothing is wrong with you 
Do you have anyone at all that can be supportive, and just be there for you when you need it? Family or friends?
When we find ourselves in our darkest places, our sobriety is at its greatest threat. That’s when you need to work quickly to protect it. Open the sober toolbox and take action.
In the absence of having someone physically near you, you could try intherooms app. Someone else suggested that on this board recently, and I’m thinking of trying it too.
Make arrangements to do things when you’re at your most vulnerable. Meetup.com could be another route if you are looking for other sober buddies to do stuff with.
I know you feel awful right now, but just get past today. One foot in front of the other

Thank you. Omg. It’s so bad. My head is spinning.
I don’t have anyone to support me. If I did, Ive already ran them out of patience.
Thank you for being considerate and thoughtful.
It’s very uplifting.

No need to thank me. We are all in this together 
This site has been a fantastic place for me, I’m relatively new here. If you need to talk to there’s bound to be someone around.
I’ve mentioned meetup.com in my last post, but I know certainly in my area there are sober meets. People from all walks of life doing all sorts of things together, sober. There’s usually something for everyone, whether you’re into cinema, hiking, marathons, historical days out etc.
What kind of things do you like to do?

I like a lot of things. Which I never do.
Fishing, skateboarding, music, gardening, movies, cooking.
I’m a mess that can’t even enjoy his own hobbies.

It’s possible you might be depressed Rob. Losing the joy in the things you normally like doing can be an indicator.
In your shoes, I’d make an appointment with my doctor and mention these things. You mightn’t feel very motivated to go, but if you don’t, things might stay the same. The same cycle again and again.
Keep coming back here, and talking it out. Especially when you’re feeling down and on the brink of drinking / using.

Thank you Binx.
I do have depression but it’s deeply seeded and not something I can easily address. I take meds. They don’t help much.
I will ring the doc and make an appointment. That’s good advice.

Day 11 for me. I joined a sober hiking group on Meetup yesterday and will be going for a short hike Friday evening and a Free Thinkers Sobriety Breakfast Club on Saturday morning. I’ve been trying to reach out for community as all of my friends and family drink and I’m noticing that all of our engagements involve alcohol.
