		<description>Hi there Anonymous, thanks for your comment.  I wouldn&#039;t blame yourself or your failings on the lack of a sponsor...I don&#039;t see that as being critical in achieving sobriety, although it could be helpful.  

It sounds like you just haven&#039;t really surrendered yet.  Have you really admitted to your innermost self that you are a true alcoholic?  Have you really made peace with that fact?  Have you made peace with the idea that you can never drink successfully?  Take some time to genuinely explore these questions, really think them through, and I think you will start to accept yourself and your disease and come to a position where you will eventually be able to move forward with sobriety, if that is what you desire.  

But you gotta want it.

Good luck to you and God bless.</description>
