    38 days of being sober pretty good if you ask me...dont feel too bad about it, just try to stay sober for a little long this time around.

    I eat too much shit, so I can empathize, though the aforementioned shit probably does not parallel your shit. One thing I really wish I had right now... someone to love. That would help a great deal in quelling my overeating problem. I know it would. The desires you have may or may not be similar, but it doesn't matter. Introduce to your life something new and great. Allow a personal revolution to occur--so you can stop hating yourself. I hate myself a great deal, too. So much so it impedes my motivation and inhibits my success in matters academic and otherwise. Whatever your desire is, pursue it independent from alcohol and cigs.

    Hey Ashbury!

    Do you really want to stop drinking? That is the most important thing! Nothing will work if you don't want to change. I have spent time with addicts and know that having someone around them - preferably someone who doesnt drink too much - really helps if they can talk to them!

    Take care!

    Love and peace

    I have been battling my own addictions, and I made this thread a while back in hopes of getting and giving support. There are quite a few people that have posted there with their stories, and I think you might find it at least a little encouraging. I'll keep you in my prayers to my higher power. Sending you vibes of strength, serenity and sobriety. Much love to you.

    P.S. I just read that we're the same age. Are you still in school?
