What I had to learn is that Alcohol is a Depressant, that's a fact. A drink feels good because it takes you where you want to be quickly, numb. It's a short term fix for a long term problem. I decided to get off it as I'm on Anti-depressants. I was expecting them to work but never felt better? Took a while to dawn on me that pill's were trying to lift my mood and drink was bringing my mood down, like a Seasaw, I was getting focking nowhere fast!

If your on meds try and reduce or get off it for a while give them chance to work, I thought I couldn't cope without a drink in my system, infact I opened a can as soon as I got out of bed and sat on end of bed and drank before I did anything!

Into the second week of no drink, my mood was better and I was more positive, believe me it's not as bad out here as you think. Maybe give your meds a chance to work or if your not on some get some.

Best wishes my friend

It takes two weeks without booze for the doctor to accurately diagnosis any problem beyond alcoholism. and then prescribe the proper meds if needed. If you are already on meds the alcohol interviews with their mechanisms.

Before they learned that my friend was placed in the nut house. After awhile they realized that their was nothing wrong with him other than alcoholism. He was released.

I remember wanting something good in my life to "rally around" to help me get sober until I realized that until I got sober nothing in my life would be good.
I also agree with much of what English said and not just because his icon is so good looking either. LOL

I don't take meds... last time I tried that these ignorant doctors wanted to play guinea pig with me and I said no fucken way.... besides the pills will just destroy my liver... id rather drink and be high than sit around all day on medicine that doesn't work... somedays I wanna drive my truck at 100mph right into a brick wall...

Call 911 and say you are going to kill yourself and are a threat to others. They will have to commit you and you will have access to a therapist. Sorry you are going through this, but I think it is the best thing you can do for yourself now. Hugs

I agree with City. If you feel like suicide's the answer, and you are an active alcoholic, you'd be kiling the wrong person.
So call 911. No amount of posting here can help you till you pick up the phone in real life. So please do it.
