My identity use to be one of abuse. I abused my body by drinking myself into a coma! It wasn't until I attended outpatient treatment that I was able to break the cycle of self sabotage.

I highly recommend talking to your doctor about in or outpatient treatment.

I will pray for you.

God Bless!

This is a big problem. Think about it -- you drank yourself sick. Then forced yourself to drink more. This is not normal or rational behavior.

What are you going to do now?

You need help you can't do this alone. We all understand, but it really isn't rational behavior. You have to admit to yourself it is for sure a problem

i ended up a few hours later getting sick again and now im sick to the point where i feel awful. i dont know what to do i feel helpless

Hello aprilmillet88,

The sickness will pass with plenty of sleep but be careful as people who drink like that can drown in their own vomit. If you are still worried, call the doctor or get to the hospital emergency department.

The bigger issue is that once the memory wears off, you will probably do it all over again and it gets worse each time. Your choices are simple and there is no in-between or grey area. You can continue on the downward spiral that often leads to death of insanity or you can accept the reality that you cannot drink safely. Not drinking means just that and there are no exceptions but the good news is that you need only stay sober for today. Then do the same the next day.

If you find that you cannot do it on your own, please look for help. Alcoholics Anonymous meetings are a good option. Dont wait until tomorrow or next week the time to start on your journey to sobriety is now. Good luck.

I couldn't live drinking and I couldn't live not drinking. I was suicidal.

The only way I could get out of the pit was to ask for a helping hand

I was done

That was June of 2012. Somehow I have been able to deal with all the crap life throws at me and be happy. It is possible

1-2

yep, I remember those mornings of chugging, the dry-heaving a tall boy, just so I could keep the second tall boy down to start my day.

Thank God I don't have live like that any more. And you don't either.

Are you doing anything about your "big problem"?

Yes, it is definitely a big problem, and a dangerous one. Overcoming this will require action on your part. What are you going to do now? If you keep this up, I would suggest a visit to the ER. You need to stop, stabilize yourself, and you are probably dehydrated.!

How are you doing? I see this was a few hours ago. I hope you are alright and have sought medical help if needed.

I don't know if I have the best advice as I am still struggling to stay away from alcohol, but I believe you can either keep drinking (which will end terribly) or pick yourself up and move forward. Get some rest and plenty of water, and some food when you can handle it. Then find some outside help whether it's counseling, aa, etc. We can do this!

thanks everyone your support means the world :) im still struggling unfortunately but trying to get it under control.....

Hi april. How many normal drinkers do you know that chug vodka out of the bottle?

I'm concerned about the vomiting. Drinking that much could lead to passing out and the vomit could end up in your lungs. That could very well kill you.

I don't know if you are alcoholic but I bet you know. If you want to find out about how good life sober can be, come hang out with us ne'er do wells, lol. You are welcomed with open arms.

Hugs,

Dianna

AA has a seat for you, if you'd like it.
