Hello, I´m new here, so wanted to make a post to introduce myself.
I am 6 days sober. After a life of jumping from self induced crises to self induced crises due to being powerless over alcohol, I finally hit rock bottom last week. I had got to the point where I was drinking most days and getting myself into all sort of problems and last Wednesday I drunk so much at work, I blacked out before I had even finished. i then went to a bar and fell over trying to walk through a window, which resulted in me breaking their TV and then went and had unprotected sex. So now I am at risk of losing my job, have had to pay a fortune to replace the TV and may lose my wonderful partner. I am taking things one day at a time. I just want to get to the end of each day without drinking and this is my goal at the moment. I hate myself and I know the only way i can ever get over this is with sobriety
Just wondering if anybody has any advise on online programmes etc? I looked at the one that has the 4 step programme, but the groups were not at good times for me.
That’s a lot to deal with, but is a good motivation as well to push trough to a better life.

Sounds like a bad country song. Welcome back. AA works for a lot of people. It didn’t work for me I went to many meetings over a 20 year span. What worked for me was repenting to God, asking Jesus to be my saviour and asking the Holy Spirit to guide me. After I did this God literally removed the urge to drink and performed other miracles for me. I now pray every day and have a relationship with the Most High.
