Well that's your choice to make, no one elses. If you want to stay drunk forever, forever won't be that long.

You have to want to be sober love, if you don't want it, you're not gonna get it just cause you need it. Know what I mean?

Prayers for ya.

You can "wish" anything that you want, but sooner or later reality intrudes. Forever is as long as it takes to lose everything that matters or die a slow an agonizing death.

So let's get real here - you can't be drunk forever. Would you like to figure out how to live a good life without alcohol? Because that's your best option. And it's within your grasp!

The simple act of your reaching out denies your words. Come on back.

i love you. does anyone give a shit?

i haven't had a drink since this morning. i passed out around 7 or 8. i'm done. i am just trying to sober up now. i just cant handle it too well.

i am trying to sober up for good i mean. i am trying.

We give a shit here - honestly. Right now, you have a hangover and there may even be booze left in your system. Give it time. Try to rest and if that doesn't work, then go for a walk.....then rest. The worst of this will be gone later tonight.

We're here for ya. Get over the physical and then you can work on the mental. Try to sleep and drink lots of water.

I care very much for what you are going through. Keep being honest with how you feel and talk it out. It's great you aren't isolating and are at least reaching out here. We all know how rough it is. You can do this.

come on back...

Just your screen name says it all- howtolive???
It feels like you are very depressed at this time. Do you have a family doctor you can go see? I suggest this for both the depression issues you might have and also, the doc can provide you with medication that will ease your transition from an everyday drunk to being sober. It can and will make you very ill. Please try to find a medical professional to help you at this time. And you will live, if you want to live. Try also to remember all those who love you and care about you...even if they have left you behind because of your drinking. Go to an AA meeting and see if anyone can give you suggestions regarding a program or rehab if necessary. But my first suggestion is that it feels as if you need medical attention now. alice

The point here is this - what are you going to DO that is different to the way you have been trying to stay sober thus far? Your way obviously isn't working.

Personally, I recovered through AA. It's readily available and will work for you if you do what is suggested. If you decide against AA that's fine but find something that will work for you because otherwise you are doomed to continue living the way that you do.

yeah, and while you're at it....don't be irritable with us. We didn't cause your hangover.......you did, lol. I do feel for ya. I still remember those damned hangovers.

I'm sorry everyone for being such a mess and asshole. I am sober now. Tomorrow will be day 1 for me. I am ready to fight for my life now. This is going to be hard, yes, but I don't need another wake up call. I am awake and not in denial anymore. Going to find an AA group this week. Thank you all for the support and for putting up with me the last few days.

I agree with Alicegrace. I am not sure what type of drinker you are however, if you drink alot and have for a period of time you it would be a really really good idea to see a doctor to get off the alchohol. Some ppl (me) get really really high bloodpressure while they detox which is really dangerous. I have gone through medical detox 3 times and they had to "load" me which means for 48 hours into withdrawal I was taking diazepam every hour and my bp was taken every hour for the first day and every 2-3 the next (even through the night while I am sleeping). It is called harm reduction. You can still withdrawal (different from a hangover as it lasts about 2-3 days as apposed to one) and not suffer the sweats, shaking, vomitting and dehidration (which leads to your electrolites being out of balance making you dizzy as well) ahhhh the fun of it all. If you are attempting to do it on your own just make sure you drink alot of water (even if it something in you stomache) ... again - do not know the severity of your drinking ... make sure you let someone know you are going to do it if you are doing it alone.

...I have had a couple of calls and brought to emerge where they took me right in.

Thinking about you ...stay strong and good luck
