Hate myself for not stopping

So I'm what they call a binge drinker, I don't drink every day, sometimes not a week or so and sometimes when I do I am sensible.. But.. And this the bad part... A lot of times when I do, I will knock back the drink until I blackout (in the memory sense) and be a a total embarrassing idiot. I have done this for years and have tried to stop on so many occasions and failed. I have tried AA but really don't get or like it. Tried counselling. Self help books. And all that. None of worked in the long term. I hate myself for being so pathetic and always letting myself down. What else can I do to help me stop drinking for good? I've taken overdoses when I've been wasted and had no recollection of doing so and woke up in hospital. One day I will unintentionally kill myself. But even knowing that doesn't stop me...

    Hello LunarDog... woof, woof !

    Please stop and really think about it all.  I am an Alcoholic.  The most informed description for our problem is, "Alcohol Use Disorder". 

    Are you dealing with your situation. alone ?

    Please keep your medications well out of reach, when you gave had alcohol... BAD MIX !!!

    I have considered ending my disturbed life.  I only stop...no matter how drunk, because I have children(adults,now).

    Blessings on you,

    Alonangel 🎇

    I feel bad....but there is hope...If I quit...anyone can...although i struggle...I have more non drinking days now than in the past.  I am too afraid of the hospital...I'm afraid of the health consequences...I'm afraid someone will need me and I will be toasted.

    ​How about trying the Sinclair method they talk about on here?
