Been in my pj's all day. what the hell is the point?

being drunk for 2 hours makes me feel awesome and the 20 hour come down sucks.

So sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello sugar1189,

Maybe a different approach would work for you. I too gave up almost seven years ago but what I gave up was trying to fight against alcoholism. I accepted that I could not do it on my own and looked for help. Might work for you too.

I think we get use to the way we live our life, even if it's a shitty life. Change involves a certain amount of fear....fear of the unknown. My first AA meeting, I was scared to death but glad I took that first big step. 7 plus years later, I am happier then I have ever been in my life!

It took alot to get me to go and get help. My wife kicked me out of the house and I wouldn't go so she called the town cops. The cop saw how drunk I was and gave me a choice, either jail or detox and it was an easy choice to make even though I was wasted and had a difficult time comprehending.

I hope you change your approach before things get worse for you. Unfortunately, all we can do is hope and pray because in the end, it is your decision alone. We can give you lots of encouragement along the way but you must do the work.

I have seen alcohol kill many friends and it also killed my mother at the age of 52. Your life certainly has meaning to your family and friends and to family and friends you have yet to meet down the road so please put forth a better effort to get the help you need to live a happy sober, lifestyle!

Good luck and God Bless!

Get moving forward. I was frozen in fear. I just could not do anything. Start to make decisions. Even the wrong decision is a decision

Make a decision to get busy. Go find a group of Alchies near you. They wanna help. It is possible. C'mon

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
