Dear hurting....you are not alone in this. Everyone on this site has felt like you do today at one point in our active addiction. We are suffering from a disease that wants us sad, miserable, lonely, and ultimately - DEAD. It's up to us to fight it, and you - and ONLY you - can stop the vicious cycle of abuse that we put ourselves through. Do you notice how (in most cases) I refer to "you" as "us"? That is because we are 'one' in this battle. Just the fact that you are even interested in this website is an indication that you are ready to make some changes. Nothing in this world that is worth anything can be conquered overnight, my friend. You are trying. Sometimes you are slipping. Do not look at it as 'failing', because that would mean that winning or losing are options. The only option that you have here is to get well. The only requirement that is asked - or I should say necessitated - is a sincere, genuine effort on your part to love yourself enough to stop the pain and suffering that this disease entails. Now don't take this wrong, but I am GLAD that you're tired. Think of it this way.... When you've had a shitty, physically grueling, fucked up day, what do you do as soon as you get the chance? (NO - besides make a stiff one!!!). Anyway, you rest, right? You lay your head down on your pillow and take a nap. And the worse your day was, the better that nap feels. It is the same way with getting sober, love. You're tired. You're burnt. Your so fucking sick and tired of being sick and tired, of waking up sick and with that knot of tension and upset in your stomach, tired of not remembering shit and having to be told secondhand what you did when you were sauced, tired of the lies that you can't keep up with, tired of looking at yourself in the mirror and saying "who the fuck ARE you and what did you do with the REAL me?", tired of looking at your husband and thinking "why don't you understand me? why don't you just leave me the FUCK alone?", tired of feeling that you've let yourself and everyone else in your life down, just plain tired, right? It's time to take a rest, honey. I wish for you it would be a permanent rest (from booze), but with this disease as you know, it's a one minute/hour/day at a time thing. I don't think that we've ever corresponded, but please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. Keep your chin up and remember, you are NOT a failure, and you are NOT alone! Michelle
Saw your post, don't be too hard on yourself, you'll quit when you are ready.

I have a nephew who I dont think has been properly diagnosed..dr says he has adhd and give him drugs, (this was years ago) these drugs did not help with his problems and I am not seeking a diagnosis from anyone I'm just seeking info on autism
