aftermath might trigger.
Yesterday I went back on the drink lost control of how I was feeling and ended up in hospital after taking an overdose. Now I'm being warned that I will end up sectioned if I don't start talking, stop drinking and stop self medicating myself.
I've now reached desperatation and I don't know where to turn, what to do. All the feelins surrounding my childhood have come onto strong and the drink and tabs the urges are getting stronger. I can't get sectioned and I have to stop, but how do I control the urges, the feelins that come with it.
Sorry

I have thought about going to a day centre, but at the time I was fighting against the idea cause I didn't realise I had a problem with drink and thought I was in control, not the drink.

Quit saying "I" and start thinking in terms of "WE". No, you don't have the power to control the urges. None of do, but there is one who has all power and there is a place you can go to find ove and support. If you want to know where, let me know

A day centre is where you get counselling for drink and drugs and get to do things to change how u respond and take ur mind of drinking and drugs..u can stay over nite also but only upto a week. The psyciatrist referred me there but I was adamant that I could control my drink, (she doesn't know that I self medicate). I guess I'm not in control, and that's difficult for me to accept. I've just been to the shops and brought some drink, I haven't opened it. I just can't deal with how I'm feeling today. Sorry I have failure all over me
let it grow!

oh, now i understand - a day centre is a treatment facility. i'd take the advice of your psychiatrist and go as soon as you can. pour the drink down the sink, and get it lined up. it sounds like a wonderful opportunity! blessings, k

Ditto what Parrent said. If you are not honest with your doctors they can not help you. Knowing the extent of your problem may change the RX.
None of us can controll the urges by ourselves. That's why you need a support group around you. Good, sober people who know and understand what you are struggling with. They ARE out there!!
