I'm drunk and I want to stop drinking
I'm drunk and I want to stop drinking
Hello
I've had enough
I can barely hold my life together
I need to stop drinking. I'm ******* things up.
I'm on the edge of a cliff right now, I know it but I cant stop drinking.

I hope you will see that you can stop. I came extremely close to ruining my entire life and losing everyone that mattered to me. Now that I'm sober, the problems that seemed impossible barely stress me out. Please get help.
I couldn’t stop no matter how hard I tried.
And no matter how far down I fell. I wound up in AA and I haven’t had a drink in over a decade. Have you gone to any AA meetings? I think I'd be dead by now without that program. It wasn’t always easy, but it is the only thing that ever worked for me.
Forward we go...side by side-Rest In Peace

It's a wise idea to talk with your doctor
...and be honest as to your drinking patterns
before you abruptly quit.
De toxing from alcohol can be dangerous.
Be both safe and sober!

Thank you for responding.
It's now the morning after and I've sobered up.
I've contacted a therapist but I can't get an appointment until July14th. I'm in Japan, I don't know if there are AA meetings here, how do I find out?

Thanks for that link, I've found English speaking meetings do take place where I live. I've sent an email them, I'm going to try and get through the day without a drink.
I might be writing quite a few posts this evening.

Day one over
Made it through the day without a drink.
To be honest, I've felt like death warmed up all day, I really haven't wanted a drink.
Got in touch with AA, going to go to meeting next weekend.
I've spoken to my girlfriend, been totally honest with her, she's the only person I've ever spoken about my alcohol problem with. She's going to support me.
I've got 5 days to go until my first AA meeting.
I can do this.
I feel like crap, shaking and sweating, though the shakes arn't as bad as they were this morning.

Good choice in AA. Trust me, no matter what pre-convceived notiuon you have of it, it's probably wrong.
Good luck, hang in there. It gets better.

Hey Pickle,
I know that feeling...edge of a cliff. You either jump off or turn round and change course. Sounds like you've chosen the latter. It was not quite 7 months ago I felt exactly as you did. I went to AA...it was the soft, supportive place I desperately needed back then. I was broken and needed the guidance of those who had been just where I had. I've hit a place right now that differs from what I needed then...it's an awesome, educational, adventurous and harrowing journey; this thing sobriety. It's growing up...finally. I wish all the best. I'm so glad you found some English speaking meetings. I'm hopeful you will find the community of support so neccessary to our recovery.

During the time waiting for the meeting reading the big book can help a lot.
I cant post links in this forum yet, but if you go to AAdotORGslashBIGBOOKONLINE you'll find it there. If you get bored of the heady stuff in the beginning, the personal stories in the back are really good too. I've been in a similar situation, and it has helped me a lot.
Japan sounds so cool. I've always wanted to go there.....
