>>>>>>I have been fighting alcoholism hard and still haven't beaten it. Not asking for sympathy because I don't think I deserve much. Well, maybe I am. I know I am a good guy with lots of good things going for me, including two daughters who are way better than I deserve. I go to AA almost every day. I want to quit. Yet here I still am. It's mystifying.

>>>I understand you. I have a problem with eating. I was 107kg and I'm now 99kg. It's really hard to eat less. Expecially deserts... I cannot hold mine. I say myself "I'll begin diet tomorrow, not today. Today not a good day for diet". It's really really hard. I was 66kg before years ago. How happened that, I can' t believe in me... I'm sure alcohol is so harder.

It's bad planning. We're just built wrong. If I eat say, 4 cookies and that puts 2 pounds on me, then I should be able to lose the 2 pounds by thinking about eating 4 cookies but then refusing to eat them.
