Hi there. I understand your troubles. I am in the same boat as you. I was doing really well, then I slipped and drank last Tuesday. Then I said that was the last time. Then I drank yesterday. I always have an excuse. My husband makes me feel bad about myself so I drink because at the time it makes me feel better. Until the next day of course. I went to AA in April. I went to a meeting almost everyday for 2 weeks. I really loved the support and it really did help to be in a room with people that were not judging you and knew what you were going through. It made me feel like finally I wasnt alone. Then my husband had surgery and he couldnt get around or do anything so I had to take over with the house, kids everything. I intended to go back once he could help out again but its been over a month and he is just now starting to help out. He still says he is hurting and has to lay down. Some days hes up all night and then sleeps all day. So in the mean time of meaning to get back to meetings I drank again, twice. I am not going to let this happen again. I have already called my gp and he is calling in a medication that will curb the cravings for drinking. I am going back to AA today. I am also going to an outpatient treatment that I found near me. This is not something that we can do on our own and we dont have to. There are many resources available. Please find something that will help you stay on track. If you want a buddy to be accountable with I will be happy to do that. It would help me too. Good luck and God bless.

Mom2girlies-Please be careful if you detox at home on your own.If you can,try to see if someone can stay with you.I'm sure that you'll be ok but just as a precaution.When I was in detox,they gave me Ativan and it worked well.Good luck and stick with it:)

I'm with you. I have tried to quit drinking this past year and I have fallen so many times. Then I pick myself up only to fall again. It is frustrating to feel like you have to begin your life again. It is day one for me too, yesterday a had a glass of wine after going to the hospital then I just sailed on some Ativan.

It really sucks to look in the mirror and see how bad it's gotten. I hate that I have broken capillaries on my face, I'm so self conscious but there are remedies for it out there.

Keep your chin up. We will both get there.

Yvonne, if you can practice rigorous honesty right now - go back and look at that mirror.

Has anything changed, or is the the 5 years of bloated, blood vessel, excess weight still there? That's your willpower you're staring at. It has let you down repeatedly.

Circles of friends, bad situations, hurt feelings all can be managed without alcohol or you have the tools.

Go to an AA meeting today. It's life changing.

Hi there. I know how difficult it must be for you to stop drinking. But fortunately for me, someone helped me quit forever and no more cravings in only 6 days.
If it can help I can send you the infos of the guy who helped me quit.

If I were in your shoes, I would head straight to the emergency room and let them put me in detox. In detox, you get meds to help you through withdrawals as well as complete physical by an addiction trained doctor! You will get lots of support and referrals to the kind of treatment that best suits you according to your underlying issues.

I will pray for you!

God Bless
