Ughh
Ughhh feel like pants this evening ( day 8 ) so anxious and depressed having to deal with my emotion wounds RAW and it feels just super awful. I think to be honest the only reason I am doing this is because I don't wanna die an alcoholic death! That's the only thing keeping me sober right now!
Im not looking for advice as such just expressing!

Hi and hang in there one minute at a time if need be.
Your correct in that an alcohol induced death is about the worse possible, so many body functions failing in a short period. Try some AA meetings to hear about it from veterans who crawled out. But then it’s difficult scaring an alcoholic!
Just don’t drink, stay alive and let sobriety permit you to be comfortable in your own skin with some work on ourselves.
BE WELL

It is never too late to have a better life. Is there something you like to do that will distract you a bit? Reading, watching a funny movie, taking a walk, or laughing with a friend? I know it sounds trite but these things really do work sometimes.

Spending time on here is helping me

My first month I was exhausted, couldn't put two thoughts together, I cried or raged at everything, could not get settled, every emotion was magnified 1000%.
One day, one hour, sometimes one minute at a time.
You've got this.

I think that is a great reason to stay sober! That is one of the main reasons I started seeking out sobriety too. I started to read horror stories of people dying horrible, painful deaths in their 30s and 40s and I don't want that to be me! Stick with it. You are doing great!!

Read around the boards, listen to some music and try to relax.

6 hours time difference between Texas and England, so it is about 10:30 at night there. Good luck, hope you can get some rest tonight. You have a lot of friends here that are supporting you. We all went through some form of what you are experiencing. Hope someone is there for you.

Chilled, you can do this. It sounds like a broken record around here, but it's so true... Drinking only makes things SO much worse. Nothing gets better by drinking.
It is not worth the pain you will feel tomorrow. You know this is the truth, don't let your AV convince you otherwise.
Stay strong, you can do this!

And remember your Painkiller doesn't make painful issues vanish forever. It just numbs you to them. They will be still be there for you to deal with when it wears off. I realize that's easy for me to say, as I'm not going through the hell that you are right now. But it WILL get better.

Hang in there! You can do it.

My sisters husband died of pancreatic cancer at age 58. It was horrible. Although it can hit people who have never drank a drop,she believes his alcohol consumption was definitely a big factor. I helped her take care of him in the end. She refused to let him be put in the hospital as there were nothing they could do and she wanted him to be at home. It is a tragic way to go. Wouldn't wish it on my worse enemy.
