YoungHyde - add me to the list of those who care & feel for you. I'm so sorry you're hurting. In your heart, you know drinking isn't going to do a thing to help ease the pain. The numbness is only temporary & adds to our anxiety. We become unable to help ourselves or to figure out a plan. You need a clear head to reclaim your life and fix the things you can right now. Some things will have to wait - but the time will go fast - and you can rise above this.
