I have struggled with addiction and alcoholism most of my life. I have destroyed so many lives that I am ashamed of who I am . I’m currently in the worst part of addiction. I can’t climb that mountain I have tried and I fail Everytime. I’m 55 yrs old and I have had family tell me I should just take myself out, because no one even cares if your alive or dead. I m tired of the struggle it’s an everyday every hour every minute struggle. I’m tired of hurting I’m tired of hurting others. I believe my family is right that I should just end it

@@shanesheldon oh I am alone my family won’t have anything to do with me. My wife left me about 6 weeks ago. I’m not allowed to see my grandkids so whats the point. Everything that meant anything to me has left me. I hate living I hate life
You are not worthless. It’s not too late to make an amazing change in your life. You can start doing the right thing right now. Even at 55yo it’s not too late. Your family is wrong. We care if you’re alive. Sounds like there is a lot of pain to work through, and that’s ok. Start today with little steps.
Hey. I’m sorry you’re going through what you’re going through. Please please seek help as soon as you can. Please go to an AA meeting. You’re going to meet others who are in your same situation. Take it one hour at a time, one day at a time and keep fighting
My mother struggled with alcoholism for years and I have also recognized that struggle within myself recently. I understand how it feels to feel like your addiction is taking your life away, but you can’t get out. You are not the only one. I don’t know you but I know you are a part of this community and we want you here. I’m glad this weekend brought your message to me and I hope you know it makes me feel less alone too.
