> i almost have 2 days sober pulled together and i cant stop crying..
<<That is WONDERFUL!!! (The sober part, I'm terribly sorry for the crying part).> what am i going to replace alcohol with?
<<I dunno about this really, but could it be that you feel tons worse right after being sober a couple of days, and if you hang in there a few more days, the sadness will diminish?
> the demons are creeping around every corner trying to make me follow..
<<Try getting really pissed at them and tell them you're not going to cave in.> how come the love for my kids is not strong enough to stop myself..
<<You *are* stopping yourself. It may not be happening as fast as we'd like it to, but every little step you make is a HUGE success. Even if you have setbacks. These *are* successes. I promise.> years ago i was a total mess but did not see.
> today i am messy and i cant clean up.
<<The *seeing* part is phenomenal. As long as you can see the problem, there is hope.>
> i feel so terrible
<<I wish I could take some of your pain away. If it helps, I think you are very brave and very strong. Thinking of you....
