Well were you not the lucky one. And I do not believe you.
My dog has been on medication for over three years and her epilepsy is not under control. Massive doses of Phenobarbitone three times a day and her epilepsy is not under control.
So do NOT tell me how to treat her or what meds to give her.
Know something? My wonderful vet is also epileptic.
YOU WANNA TELL HIM HOW TO CURE HIMSELF?

There have been so many people on this forum that have tried real hard to offer you suggestions and support because they really care about you and want nothing but the best for you (and your dog), but your response to them is to just tell them off and be rude. Maybe they are not using the words you think they should use, or saying things the way you think they should say them, but they are trying hard to help you.
Everyone is trying to help here Complexiti.
They're all taking the time out of their day to post to you and offer help and support for the problems you're facing.
You came here looking for change - the people in this thread are trying to help you achieve that change.
I think it's best to read responses here in that light.
I've also sent you a PM.

If you continue down this path, you won't be around to take care of your dog.
I say this as a mother who is looking at my only son, with the same truth.
Neither of us can hide behind the excuses here. I so want to but, at the end of the day- we both put booze first. Period.

You say you love your dog but guess what? You do not love your dog more than you love alcohol.
All the excuses in the world won't change that. And I am the same. So, there you have it.
My only kiddo is 14 and no- neither of us are giving those we profess to love, all of us because of alcohol, my friend.

I'm sorry you made the choice to drink castlefan.
I think it would have been better to post here or elsewhere, or PM me.
Thats what this recovery board is all about - we want to help when people feel vulnerable.
Please remember everyone...words can hurt - choose and use them wisely.

Sorry you drank, but you, in no way made things worse for the OP!! You provided very good advice. As hard as it is, please try not to take some of the responses people will give you personally. I think it has a lot more to do with the person making those negative than the well-intentioned person trying to help. We're responsible for our actions, not others. I hope you can move past this (and stop drinking), and keep offering suggestions. Have a good evening.

Just let me talk on here. You don't have to read it but believe me it's helping to be able to let it all out without being mocked, as happened on one supposed alcohol help site, called a troll on another and because of me someone started drinking again and it was all my fault, or lectured on another saying that I MUST go to AA.
Nobody just let me talk as you all are doing. And please believe me I am not a troll. I am an alcoholic who desperately wants to stop drinking and who is so scared that in another few days, a week, sometime, that I will give in to the craving again. Still haven't left my home as I am scared to go to the store for anything in case I end up with more drink.
Thank you for just letting me talk.

I usually just read the posts, but I do have a question:
Complexiti, when is your next scheduled doctor's appointment, and how do you get there?
Coping with emotional upsets without reaching for a drink... that's what we are all searching for.
Castlefan. Don't listen to the voice that is telling you not to use internet support. Don't listen to the voice that tells you that what some angry anonymous person says to you can hurt you that deeply.
One angry, bitter voice... hundreds of supportive caring voices. Who are you going to listen to? I wonder whether the angry voice got through because you feel bad about yourself and what they said confirms your negative feelings?
You can always PM me if someone upsets you.We will get some perspective together.

Complexity, I'm sorry for your pain. I can't imagine your personal challenges are like for you personally. When you post in an open forum you are reaching to connect with people--otherwise you could write in a private journal. Likewise, the people here are here because they need help and hope to help others in return. But none of us can rely on other people to give us precisely and ONLY what we need.
There seems to be a lot of anger underlying many of your posts. This is NOT a criticism. You may have every right to be angry. I'm not even saying you should "resolve" the anger in some way. But maybe there's a way for you to take strength from it, channel the anger into a solution for yourself rather than a defense against your audience here (or anywhere else).
I'm wishing you and your dear dog the best, Complexity. And I do sincerely empathize with your troubles to the extent that I (or anyone) can.
