I used to be an alcoholic. but I cleaned up my act and I quit 7 years ago. but just a month back I started drinking again. One thing lead to another and I find that I’m drinking everyday. And the old voices come back. They tell me to end it all. That this life is not worth anything. I cant take it anymore. The only reason I’m still alive is because of my mother. She’s very ill and she needs me still. But I dont know how long i can go on.

I think I’m an alcoholic but my voices to end it all are there when I’m sober and I drink to get them out my head.
I’m only here for my kids or I would of done something ages ago.
No help I know sorry.

Let the voices talk, but don’t follow their advice, follow your heart.
You did very very well staying sober for 7 years, and you’ve had a relapse, that can happen. Don’t let it get you down, you can get sober again.
Get some help to get back up, and don’t fear the relapses, just accept them for what they are, you stumbled and you can get back up.

Yes, getting those voices out of your head is very hard to do. I have them constantly and even when I get drunk they are there, then I usually do stupid, stupid things. I am going to get so blazed tomorrow night though, or tuesday night. I need to be at work during normal hours this week and that is going to kill me (I usually work evenings, nights and weekends because I cannot be around people). I have not spoken to a single person in 10 days now, spooky.
As far as a relapse, I think you can beat this, especially if you had 7 years sober
Good luck
