Thanks for being there in chat last night. For others, after 24 years of sobriety, I started drinking last Monday and need some people to talk too, to explore why. I've got 4 beers and 5-6 shots of schnapps...then no more.

Welcome to the forum part of SR Baretree.

Please think about dumping what you have there - as one who's been there, I think it's never too soon to start stopping, if you get me

and pls, see a Dr about detox.

Dee...I'm reaching out here...which is incredibly hard for me. I'll be honest...I'm finishing what I got.

As 1 of the millions without insurance a doctor is out of the question. I couldn't even get a tetnus shot when I needed one without going to emergency room. Which I wouldn't do.

I did go thru a hospital detox 24 yrs ago and had some withdrawal symptons, but I would think detox would not be necesary after a week of drinking...Am I wrong?

Baretree, welcome.

A week, maybe, maybe not. I've been through a few, some scary, some not.

No way to tell. I mean, beforehand.

& I know about no insurance... right there with you buddy.
Just, if anything seems amiss, call 911, or go to the ER. Don't bring your ID.

I didn't just say that...

And come back to us, either posting or in the chat rooms. There is plenty of support here on SR.

I don't know what detox would be like for you after one week. You had a long run without alcohol. The sooner you stop the easier it will be. You may not be in the habit of drinking everyday yet. It will be easier to stop now rather than later. I hope the best for you. It sure would be sad to go back to where you were after such a long run of sobriety.

Thanks for sharing.

I need to write my feelings and it almost feels more honest after drinking...

Why does it feel normal to do things on facebook i.e. Cigars for all, but it seems awkward when I think about doing it sober?

Grand experiement....conclusion....I need help...Definitely can not drink. But drinking helps on the social aspects...what to do. I'd be dead if I drank all these years.

Drinking...I get to the point of where it feels good, but I ABSOLUTELY know that I can not keep it up.

Do people drink and feel like this and not feel ****** up???? time stamp 11:07 10/29

Stream od consciensness wow...time stamp 11:07 10/29

When is good time to get drunk? Never always wow.

All these routine things like taking a leak while drunk...seem very familiar....
Facebook with family while drinking seems fun yet tragic....can not do it... didn'y have facebook 20 years ago.

I'm ****** and love this feeling and hate this feeling. Definitely 95% buzzed. Definitely 99.9 % buzzed,,, If I Could have 1000 years. 3 or 4 hours late...wtf...

Totally ****** 12:15 10/30 Prev sentence doesen't make sense

Could I possibly approach Maya without totally freaking her out 10/30 1:28...not to be with her but to understand me...

Facebook reaches the world,,,how cool is that...after getting a heart from Israeli Lena

I see I scared everybody away.

**CarolD** · 11-01-2009, 09:10 PM

baretree....the Forums are not like Chat.
Think of them as bulltin boards

you share ...others come back to read and reply.

Chat is more like live conversations.

Your correct our auto censor kicked in.

Gypsy Feet · 11-01-2009, 09:34 PM

I don't think anyone was scared away. We just didn't know how to respond to that.

baretree · 11-02-2009, 03:17 PM

23 years, 11 months, 2 days sober, 7 days drunk, 1 day sober.

The thought never crossed my mind that I'd be participating in Alcoholism forum when I picked up that drink Last Monday. Last time I drank there was not this tool to help. wow!!!

Woke up this morning shaking and anxious, but determined.

baretree · 11-02-2009, 03:22 PM
