Morning Glory has just given you invaluable information. If you really have hit bottom - if you REALLY want help right now - then please take advantage of some of the detox, rehab, etc. help she lists. What you might want to do right now - I mean, the moment you receive this email - is call your local chapter of AA or NA (Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous), find out where the nearest meeting is, and go to it. Make this a priority. Talk to someone there about what you're going through and I guarantee you'll get some hands-on guidance. You have to make the change: no one else can save you. And by "making the change," I mean accepting that you've had enough and are willing to do anything you can to get sober. It's not so much a matter of money now: it's a matter of you surrendering to this gorilla on your back and admitting you've had enough. Believe me, help is available. Your life can turn around completely. You've reached out here - which is a good sign. Now reach out at whatever 12 step meeting is appropriate to your addiction - and investigate the options Morning Glory has kindly listed here.

Everybody on this site is pulling for you.

best -
and prayers -

Guy
