I'm hybernating in my apartment and not answering the phone...I didn't go to work today

ccgirl2 · 03-04-2008, 07:29 PM

Look if you're really upset and want to talk to someone in private, go to their name, click on it, and hit send a private message. If they're on at that time, they'll most likely respond. If they're not on, most people will get back to you as soon as they can. We want to help.

Are you going through withdrawals now? Did you stop using?

We are here and please post when you are ready.

fin · 03-04-2008, 07:47 PM

yes...been up all night and all day

TiredMama · 03-04-2008, 07:49 PM

Please if need be, go to an ER if you get too sick. Remember, you have plenty to live for.

Keep posting if you can.

Hi Fin, So glad you came here. If you have a job with health benefits, you can call you provider and get the name of someone to go see to get help. If you are feeling hopeless, you may want to go to inpatient treatment.

There is life after drugs. I know. I was in outpatient for coke back in 1986. I quit coke but kept drinking and ended up doing a long-term outpatient 2 years ago for my alcohol use. Sometimes it takes a while for the clouds to clear, but I'm sure if you got a couple weeks healthy behind you, you would see everything in a whole new light.

fin · 03-04-2008, 07:56 PM

I'm so scared of going to treatment...my job..my parents..my pain..how pathetic huh?

fin · 03-04-2008, 08:01 PM

i'm already tired of hearing myself bitch...

emmer · 03-04-2008, 08:08 PM

All of us bitch from time to time, that's part of what makes this forum fun.

TiredMama · 03-04-2008, 08:12 PM

Fin-

This is what the forum is for. Please share you thoughts and emotions. You aren't bitching.

Do you live with your parents? Support system?

sweetpea40 · 03-04-2008, 08:41 PM

Bless your heart!!! We are here for you!!!

StayinAlive · 03-04-2008, 08:50 PM

I know how you feel, was in your shoes just a short time ago. There is hope, keep reaching for help, you ARE worth it!

windysan · 03-04-2008, 11:26 PM

Fin. Most of have been right were you are right now. I know that right now things appear hopeless. Things are not hopeless. Many of us were at the bottom and many of us cleaned up and are now happy. It can be done. I was an emotional wreck, at the point of death, slobbering, miserable, a junkie in despair. Shrinks couldn't help me, preachers couldn't help me. I had to just ask friends and family for help. I went to detox then rehab and today I'm alive. That was almost 5 years ago. The point of entry for help is Alcoholics Anonymous and/or Narcotics Anonymous for many people. There is a meeting in your town. If you can't get help from friends and family go to an AA or NA meeting and ask for help. You can get better and your addiction can be over. Good luck.
