I have struggled quitting drinking for several years now. I have had bouts of sobriety but don't seem to maintain it. I can look at myself, clearly, and see why I can't. And then there I am not knowing what to do about it.
They tell me that I lack coping skills. This is a truth. I am not sure how to successfully cope with sexual abuse in a marriage. I can't do it and so I end up drinking.
I have fooled myself into thinking that I am stronger than I am. In actuality I am nothing.
I truly need that which is outside myself to save myself.
This is truth.
