I see the weakness in your notes. "I love to please others". and "I hurt people."
I too love to please others, which leads you to fail, and then have to find a way to handle that failure. You can't make everyone happy - and trying will hurt you.
I know - I too do it. I want people to like me and to enjoy my company. But to use alcohol to do that is not good for you (not saying I don't do that too.)
You don't like to hurt, you don't want to hurt others - and this is one (damaging) way to handle it. Just for fun, check out my answer to this person - it was eye opening, and like I put here, a ever reoccurring need to reaffirm in my own life.

I don't have your answer, just one of the ways I am learning to handle it (not always successfully, but better).

One day you will realize that drinking doesn't solve any problems but causes many other problems, it's like smoking pot, you think it make you feel better, but all it really does is mask reality...
Life is a beautiful thing and each day is like a new creation to be unfolded and admired as it happens. The Magic appears, as you realize life can be a real experience without smoke or drink. Trust me on this...
Live your life in expectaion of something wonderful is about to happen, and you have to be ready for it. Life is about to happen in front of you. The beauty is within you, you had it all the time, but were too drunk to notice. Get ready for the ride of your life!!!

hey, brother,
Just wanted to say I feel you on this whole thing. Having 7 years in the military working as a bombtech now. I woke up clutching a trashcan full of my own puke this morning and I knew I needed to get back on here. Start taking my life back and making it better.
message me if you need something, maybe we can put this behind us together. I know that sometimes it's hard to follow through, but just knowing that there is someone out there fighting the same thing helps me.
says: I think it says a lot that you are on here admitting that you need to change. Just keep taking it one day at a time and i think you will be very happy with the results.
