I am sorry you are in pain, however, Megan is right, this board is for people who are affected by anothers alcoholism. Calling AA or a treatment center for alcoholism/addiction will certainly help you to go in the right direction for recovery. Sounds like to me you are at Step one, and you are ready to recieve the help you need.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,good luck........................................gardengal
I don't mean to be rude, but we're all here because of people like you and it's really hard to feel any sympathy for you. I don't understand why you do what you do and I sure don't buy the "disease" theory.
I am glad you are reaching out - like previous posts have said, try the AA board - however, just want to say this:
Every single alcoholic I know has at least 1 more A in their family - so, dont be embarrassed, when you find some help, come back, I bet you are qualified to be here - it is my guess you have more As in your family group.
Best wishes to you - if it is any use - my A daughter found AA (we tried for years to stop her drinking, to no avail) - she has been sober for six years next week. Believe, dear friend, there is hope, just reach out and take the help.
I am so sorry you are going through this! I have seen my A overwhelmed by the urge to drink, it must be awful!! I'm glad you have a sponsor. Do you also have some-one else in the program you can talk to? Thanks for coming here when there was no-where else to turn, it shows you are serious about recovery. Praying that you find the strength to beat this horrible disease, Love TLC
I read your other post from a few months ago, about your husband and the problems you were having. Did you get the divorce ? It sounds as though you are in a lot of pain, I don't know if you are an alcoholic or not, no one else can say you are, you have to decide that for youself. Megan suggested you visit the AA board on MIP, please do that, read some of the post and share there if you are comfortable.
I am an alcoholic, I've been sober by the grace of God and AA and Al-anon for the last 21 years. I go to both Al-anon and AA, my husband is an Alcoholic, he is in state rehab now because of felony DUI.I am also an adult child of an alcoholic, so I qualify for both programs.
I hope you are doing much better when you read this...please keep posting and take one day at a time.
I agree with the others to seek help at the other forum.
You may also give yourself some options what to do in such times - maybe read a great book, watch an old favourite movie (humour preferred!), take a bath, listen to upbeat music, dress up in attractive clothes, do something you enjoy - artsy or crafty, or bake cookies, whatever - to keep your mind off things!!
Distract yourself, clean the room (or at least a drawer or a shelf), try to accomplish something you've been putting off for a while... Or, write a poem (it can be wickedly pathetic & horrible) to a pop melody, join a new forum of interest...
Or just cook yourself some soothing herbal tea (perhaps one that relaxes and calms you)... take it easy... take a nap...
