really want help - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

katsha1631 · 11-29-2004, 07:10 PM

Hi,

I know that I have had a problem now for sometime. Just afraid to admitt it to myself or to my husband. Well, Friday night I got so drunk that I ended up really sick. I also called a relative that I have had issues with..very bad decison on my part. My mother called the next day ( she has had her own addictive problems). She told me that I really need to stop drinking as it is making things that are already hard for me to deal with so much worst. The relative couldn't wait to get her on the phone about me calling so late and drunk..doesnt matter that this person isn't any better..but what ever. I just want to stop it. I have a great husband and 2 wonderful kids. I don't want to do anything to lose the only things in my life that truly are good. My husband says he noticed my drinking had gotten out of controll..he works nights and that is when I start..and don't stop will I pass out. I wish I knew how to controll my emotions about things I can't change. I dont want to drink anymore..I havent since Friday..I am so afraid. I feel better that I admitt that I have a problem..I just need support to make sure I STOP for ever. Thank you for listening to me..I don't know where to turn.

Welcomr to SR. I am glad you have broken through your denial and see that drinking is causing more trouble than it is worth. You will get lots of support here and you might want to check out AA as well. Another support group that is not all that well known is called Women for Sobriety and you might want to investigate them. These groups are filled with people with the same problem as you and we support eachother and help eachother as best we can. Keep posting with us. We are here for eachother.

Katsha-- You are not alone. There are people here and in the rooms of AA who understand and can help you get to the other side. It means first not drinking and second working an honest program of recovery to learn how to live life without alcohol. I couldn't do it alone. Thankfully there is help and support that is freely given. Good luck.

Hi Katsha,

Welcome and that's great being sober since Friday. What a great accomplishment. It sounds like you're ready to take back control of your life. I drank alone at night too and I thought I could hide it, manage it, control it. But, I couldn't. You've come to a great place for support.

Love, Anna
