hey again
I'm sorry - this may annoy you
I'm hearing a lot about what you can't do...can't do AA...can't go to a doctor...can't do detox. OK your call, but listen for a second to someone who's been there.
I don't do AA, only SR and...it works for me - but I couldn't have gotten sober while trying to hide from friends family and the world at large too.
I didn't get sober - for 15 years - getting ever worse until everyone found out anyway - I lost jobs, friends, respect, reputation.
I should have acted years earlier - but I was proud -'I could beat it myself', 'noone need know' - and my pride nearly killed me.
If something is more important to you than stopping drinking - whether it be pride or job or whatever - be prepared to fail...you mightn't, but be prepared.
If you do fail? be prepared to lose a lot of stuff dear to you as your alcoholism progresses.
Do whatever you want to do - but do it wholeheartedly - not with one hand tied behind your back....because you'll never win.
I say all this not to make you mad or scare you - you can flip me the bird LOL.
Just sharing my experience - you're young, you can bounce back in ways I can't anymore - if you take action now.
Give it some thought, ok?
