About Me
I live in the Canadian Artic and work in administration most of the time but have recently had to resign my position due to bad choices in lifestyle. Now I'm trying to figure out what i want to be when i grow up and hope that joining this site will help out. It seems like there are a lot of excellent people here and I'm hoping to learn from them. I have a problem with alcohol and have been diagnosed with PTSD.

Close Alcoholism
I'm 48 years old and have been drinking for 30 years and it's been a problem since almost day 1 only I didn't catch it (I guess I'm not too swift!) I have used drinking for many reasons (to get to sleep, to block out memories, to ease stress, to combat shyness, you name it) and I have finally figured out it doesn't work. I have been through 1 stint in rehab 2 years ago and figured that if I quit for a while I could go back and drink like a regular person. Hoping this site will help.
Treatments
- AA Meetings Somewhat Helpful
- I didn't give the meetings a chance to work.
- Cold Turkey Not Working
- I can go for a while (usually a few weeks) and then there's always a "reason" to have that first drink.
- Detox Working / Worked
- Detoxed on my own and then went to a rehab centre for 4 weeks. It worked while there but as soon as I was out I was back at it.
- Sleep Not Working
- I use the alcohol to put me to sleep!
- Willpower Not Working
- I have none!
