Hey there. Alcohol is not the answer. Just to let you know some facts about alcohol. Alcohol can damage your stomach lining, liver, kidneys, can cause acid reflux, ulcers, burning. I do hope you will find the strength to resist that crazy obsession of the mind.

Have you thought about calling your local AA?

I'm praying for you.

no, the pain is just so bad, im sorry i wont complain anymore. I praying for you Pawnxoxox.

hello there

if you drink think about the pain you will be in tomorrow.

good luck

roommate, I know how you feel. I have been there so many times, and it's crazy difficult! I feel like a total hippocrate saying this to you or anyone else, but if there is any possible way, try to fight it with everything in you. Is there anything, anything that all that would help relieve the pain in a healthy way? Is there someone you can call and maybe visit for a while? When I get like that, the only way I will NOT drink or do drugs is to go visit a family member, or even go to church.

If you wanna talk, message me anytime. I really hope you will feel better very soon. I'm so sorry you are dealing with so much pain. I know how it is, and I hate to know anyone else has to deal with this crap as well.

((hugs))

are you asking for help? Then maybe some of us can help. If your just expressing your feelings good luck with that.

Have you ever received a twelve step, and twelve traditions book. When we start working the steps. For some reason we start to understand the pain, and fears we think we cannot face. Then we learn to turn it over to our higher power. One thing I can recommend is right down what is bothering you, and talk to somebody. Your not alone. It takes courage to go through life sober. We all need help with it. Trust me you can do it.

Hey Roomate:

The pain will be covered up, but guess what all of the problems will still be there, plus a little more.

So far you've been doing great, you have done the right thing by posting here and asking for help, I can read between lines ;o) Just put the cork in the bottle and take the cotton out of your ears.

Today is another day, obviously you made yesterday w/o, so let's try for oh let's say 15 minutes, and see how it goes, if you like it try another 15.

Remember we all drank to get rid of pain and feelings, when I sobered up they were still there, but I was learning how to deal with them.

You let me know how it goes today.

You're friend in sobriety,

DougC

thanks, and yes i could use lots of help.

Then if you want help read the BB of AA chapt 2 and 3 and see if your alcoholic. If you are then the steps with a sponsor will help it did for me I showed up convinced I was dying and was willing to do anything to sober up and recover. I went thru the steps had a spiritual awakening and started to sponsor others and my life changed. Thats the help I can offer you. If I can do it so can you.

thank you

cant put down the vodka, lost my job today

from my experience, i was taught to LOOK THROUGH THE 1ST DRINK. if i drank over what ever the issue was the issue would still be there and be at least 2 fold worse then the day before., and usually be in remorse, saying to myself why did i do that, ( its just my opinion..)

Hey, complaining is a sign of help. I wish I could take your pain away. Check out this e-Aa I go to the link is http://www.londonppbbs.com/ourprimarypurposechatroom.html.

Plse what ever you do don't give up on yourself. You deserve happiness too.

it will make things worse

Call your local AA main office. Ask them where the nearest meeting to you is and then go to that meeting. You are not gonig to get sober by sitting around feeling sad or scared, or hopeless. GO TO MEETINGS.
