I feel like a crazy person even posting about this, but i havent slept in 3 days, because my mind has not allowed me to rest, so hopefully i can get something out of this to gain a peace of mind. To start, im a drinker, always have been. You can say that i sometimes dont know my limits...and i usually go out without my husband, so thats the first mistake i usually make. Half of the time i black out and only remember bits and pieces of my night and thats what scares me...i get this thought of cheating on my husband...i make up the scenarios and i start believing them cause they seem so real. I will replay my night over and over to try and remember. Even when i remember everything, there is something in the back of my mind that says i still screwed up. This past time i went as far as texting the guy to ask if we did anything. Its beyond embarrassing. It gave me somewhat of relief, but then i thought to myself what if hes just saying that so i dont freak out. I would never cheat. I just cant shake these thoughts and it's driving me crazy...i almost just want to give up

Go to AA. See if they can help. You don't have to say anything.
Just listen.

We are human and entertain thoughts that we shouldn't and occasionally we flub and make mis-steps. It's when the thoughts become obsessive or start turning into reality that the little red flag goes up. You are already aware of the dangers of over-drinking and now need to find a solution and head in the right direction.
See if there are AA meetings in your area 800-840-0762, get with a ladies alcohol recovery group and vent to them, they will understand. These groups are meant to support you in a non-judgemental atmosphere. There are rehab centers in hospitals that can help and offer suggestions.
Teen Challenge is a great alcohol recovery treatment center for adults and teens, they are located all over the U.S. and have several programs to assist in your recovery. Their number is 844-334-6990.
You are not alone in your struggle, I understand and can relate. Be strong and fight through this, you can, just take it a day at a time and never give up. I will be praying for you and a complete recovery. Blessings to you in this journey, you got this.
