drinkin your problems away will not help the situation it will just make them 10 times worser... have you spoken to this to girl to resove the issue.... you do not have to drink on it u really dont...

hang in there :)

Sounds like you could use a meeting.

Part of being in recovery is learning to feel again. Allow your frustration and hurt to move through you. Feel it and it will pass. The drink will only exaggerate those feelings and turn them into anger. I hope you will resist and make the right choice for yourself because the consequences are something you will regret tomorrow. I hope you don't add to your problem by drinking Hurt is an emotion no one likes but it's needed so we can grow, love and learn.

I always say go ahead and drink, but live with the consquences.

Hi Actus, before you make the decision to drink, please think the drink all the way through. We alcoholics have been known to make bad situations exponentially worse. You really don't have to drink if you don't want to.

It would probably go from one set of problems , staying sober and its entanglements which is positive if you are a Alcoholic. To who knows how many problems if you are a wet (drunk) alcoholic. Personally I would not pick up the drink. Relationship problems , are a good time to get close to step work with a sponsor and to re- double your efforts in the fellowship(meetings) at least that is what I did when I was I was faced with those options.

Of course you want a drink mate, your unable to bring forth into your mind the humiliation and terror of the last one! Thats what being alcoholic is all about, I can only suggest that if you havent already you maybe get asponsor and start working the steps, as is said on here alot "If nothing changes nothing changes" good luck.

I have been right where you are, Actus: sufferingly sober in untreated alcoholism.

Apart from a "complete psychic change", drinking again is inevitable for people like us:

"Many of us felt that we had plenty of character. There was a tremendous urge to cease forever. Yet we found it impossible. This is the baffling feature of alcoholism as we know it - this utter inability to leave it alone, no matter how great the necessity or the wish." ("Alcoholics Anonymous", the book, page 34)

Do you have a plan for permanent recovery?

Well, I made it through the night without drinking.

You made It! Congrats! You will make another day and night too. It does get easier. Be patient with yourself but do not give in to that poison!
