Welcome Ariel! Sorry you're in such a crap situation right now.
To the above...I have a long history of getting sober for a while, then drinking, rinse and repeat.
I'm on day 16 right now after over a year of heavy daily drinking (mornings and all day, if I didn't have to work.) And about every third day I'd feel so ill and ashamed in the morning I'd tell myself this is IT, not drinking today.
Yeah. No. Eight hours later I'd be hitting the liquor store.
But somehow, 16 days now....feels really good, even though it's not exactly all kittens and unicorns farting sparkly rainbows; but it feels good to go to bed sober and wake up without a hangover.
You CAN do this. There is a ton of support and good information here.
