This realization that I'm an alcoholic has only served to make me feel more hopeless than ever. It will still be another 30 to 45 days until the 12 step program that i'm signed up for even begins. Meanwhile the cravings grow stronger and I grow weaker. I don't even know what I feel right now. just so alone and lost in this new pit. ( at least it's a new pit, instead of the same old pit) I know I need to go to AA but I'm scared to do it.

I've been on one of these programs , I found it really good and helpful.
Because you have so long to wait for your programme your very vulnerable around drinking right now. I remember what the cravings are like. I would start going to AA meetings straight away, everyday, it will get you out of that pit you are in and hopefully prevent relapse . you'll get a lot of support at AA Sent from my GT-S6810P using Tapatalk |

Guiltier good luck to you. You are a person seeking help, seeking betterment for yourself and for those around you. You are not "admitting" that you are taking steps to get to a better place with people who can help and who will understand. I imagine it will be scary but you'll be opening a scary door to a better place. Good luck and keep talking to us.

Thanks for the encouragement. I know that i will find help and support when I open that door, but it has been such a battle to even admit that I am an alcoholic. When did I become this person? I am filled with such self loathing even as I fight the cravings. I am planning on going to a meeting on Monday, I'm so afraid.
