Fair dinkum, enough is indeed enough. This may be of help to you:

There’s so many days ahead whether you decide to get fucked up, do nothing and lay in bed all day, run a marathon, solve world mysteries or become President. So, don’t worry about time. Just worry what you do with each day. We waste days confident about ownership over the future. But honestly a day spent wasted is just a wasted day.

Welcome to the forum, go day by day. Only today, present, is changeable.

Hi, what are struggling with, maybe I can help?

This thread may help you outline a plan:

21

Well, am I doing this right?
Where can I just “check in” here and ask for support? Like when I go to Ireland… Or like any day

22

As far as a plan, well, all I know is 1) I not wanna drink again 2) one day at a time. 3) to challenge myself to just get through the HARD times

You can check in here:

As far as your plan, that is what we would usually call white-knuckling, which is a term I have seen you use before too. I really recommend you read the ‘What’s YOUR plan?’ thread in detail, I have shared it with you twice and there are real nuggets of wisdom in it.

Ok WILL DO.
Thank you!

I like your chutzpah. Having the desire for change is the seed for lasting sobriety.

My mistake repeated over and over and over was believing my desire to change coupled with my own willpower was enough. Maybe it was for a while but eventually I always caved.

It was only when I accepted I was truly an alcoholic and only a power greater than myself could restore me to sanity and keep me sober…that my life has changed.
