      you gotta hang in there. i know im much younger and may not be as wise. but one important thing im learning is no matter how rough things get alcahol will only make a whole new set of problems on top of the ones you already have. your going through a hard time right now. just tell yourself. you dont deserve any pain. and remember that you dont. hang in there:)

      I'm sure you can make day 4. I know it must be hard, I wouldn't know what I would do if I could not see my son and daughter every day. They are the reason I know I have to quit drinking.

      oh my friend i am often so incredibly close to walking right up to the E.R. window at times and telling them somebody's getting hurt tonight if i dont get some help.as a matter of fact sometimes(hell, usually!) the only reason i dont go is i am so afraid i will be alone when i return home.that they will all think i am too crazy to deal with and just disappear on me.i mean they all disappear when i get real low or super manic anywayz,rite?So what,then i come home to a devstatingly lonely life and an empty house with a dog who has eaten my 2 cats out of hunger!?now what?so i know how it can be.but if you can find the strenght and bravery to seek out some help,i implore you to do so.i want you to feel better,and i dont want you falling lower.but hey,ya got me!:)

    • Close Alcoholism

      I started drinking when I was 13 and continued through H.S., College. Not that I was a moderate drinker every time I drank I drank to get cranked and usually did unless the money or booze ran out (mostly beer,grass). I started driving and all sanity went out the window. After 5 dui's I was reffered to a drinkin Driver program that was like being on probation. At 26 Iwent into my first meeting of A.A. It was eye opening to say the least. People were in that basement not drunks, I made a connect.

      Treatments

      AA Meetings Working / Worked
      It was a life change for me. A.A. saved my life. One day at time I started to become a person, as opposed to the animal that I was. Sobriety gave me peace of mind.
      Cold Turkey Not Working
      I tried stopping on my own but couldn't stay stopped. Every time a situation came up that upset me I would pick up. Depression would set in all I thought of was drinkin.
