We each have to figure it out for ourselves. But what it sounds like, just throwing this out there and you will make your own decisions of course, is you’ve been trying to do anything and everything to keep alcohol in your life. You’re doing everything except quitting alcohol and staying quit, including a geographical and working 7 days a week (which is not sustainable as you now seem to appreciate) and now even thinking of buying another home. You don’t need to do all this. You just need to stop drinking. You can stay your whole life in this bargaining mode, trying to keep alcohol in the equation and you can announce you’re quitting as many times as you wish, or you can genuinely start to put some sobriety time together and see the changes that that brings. I was drinking a big bottle of Smirnoff a day by the end. Rolling around in bed or my flat on my own, being sick, hallucinating, barely hanging on to the contract job I had, saying horrible things to the people I loved. Now I have my partner back and can spend every day present with our beautiful son and my career is getting back on track. Most of all, I don’t hate myself when I wake up in the morning. I’m starting to feel like me again. Whatever short and small buzz alcohol gave me is nothing compared to a life I’m proud of and being close to people I love who are proud of me too.

Tbh most of these things are surface level and the over work is also surface level. Until you gonna deal with the real reasons why you are doing this to yourself and stop the trying to bargain your way out of it without doing the hard psychological work I fear it is going to be roundabouts for you. Wishing you the best though. This whole video is you convincing yourself of something so you don’t have to deal with the real deep issues. You are bargaining with something and it is all the wrong things. Best of luck!

You are setting yourself up though for a dramatic fall working that hard. I know because I also work that hard and have done for years. It will take unrelenting focus and some physical exercise which will help calm your mind. Good luck wish you the best.

Do you have an addiction centre or hotline for mental health you can call? We have the hotline here in Canada and it’s very awesome for resources. That added element can really shift things. You know, controlling the days that you allow yourself to drink/quantity can really start the ball rolling as well. Recovery doesn’t have to be fully stopping everything one day. It’s taken me 2+ years of work to get from daily binge drinking to having 1 drinking day every week (I’ve got more work to do). Abstinence might take a long time and that’s okay too! Keep fighting.

"Hi guys! this is it! it is Day One! it is final! yes I have said it a 1000 times. But this time it is different! Day One! again" bla bla bla))) you seem to be tryng to quit on will power, which you have a very limited supply of. As I said before you need therapy first

"Fighting" is the worst thing someone can do, in trying to achieve sobriety. Without a complete surrender, and the willingness to live differently, it will get progressively dire!

Maybe you should discuss this plan to buy a property for your children and their mother to live in for the next 10 years with a lawyer. If the children and their mother live in the property, but not yourself, seems you could be setting yourself for problems down the road. To me the sensible plan would be- buy the property for yourself to live in, and your children when you have them. Which hopefully would be at least 50% of the time. Yes it seems a very unselfish plan to purchase a property for your children and their mother. There's many ways this could backfire and might not be the best for you or your children.

Don't over-analyse and make unrealistic goals. First you've got to be off it for a few weeks to find some clarity of thought. You might then see a good path forward. Making pledges whilst you're on alcohol is not going to convince others of your sincerity.

You can't overcome alcoholism with workouts and energy bars. You need professional help. I was an alcoholic for years until I asked my GP to refer me to an agency to help addicts - I am now sober for 10 years.

Why don't you do 12 months in AA, look at the hole in your soul (we call it a spiritual malady) then come back and do a video? alcohol is a symptom of the problem you're the actual problem as you're the alcoholic - alcohol - ism the ism means '''In side me'' you MUST understand your illness you have no idea brother. I know you have good intentions but you're not getting sober any time soon.

Um maybe you need to see a psychiatrist as I don’t think doing this by yourself is working . Your lifestyle is not sustainable. I see this as just another clip of saying new day, new me. It’s getting a bit repetitive and pointless at this stage. Sorry to be harsh but you really need to seek professional help.

Put in some q 10 and selenium and so on and see if this get it into a better balance, because all this drinking could have led to deficiencies a vicious circle, theese selenium and so on give a better sleap and fix up much and then exersise every day if a opportunity.sveating out in a sauna etc. I have newer drink like this, moore a occationally week end .once a mounth, but i tryed one year total sober taking up theese tablets as i used before as "a hobby" that is a gamechanger, sleap is like in the 20 s and i just quit even the week end drinking, i go out sometimes but drink alk free beer. I should not promote but Pharmanord is good in this. "Hit hard " on the q 10 150 mg in start and down to about 100 . (Even 1500 is not dangerous) but you should not hit to heavy on because it start step by step doing it,s job.

In the end you might have the house. But you want have a marriage or your kids around. Alcohol will increase in your life. Nobody can work so many hours and stay sober. I done it and it nearly killed me. No point in owning a house when you sick 🤢 and need care.
