Alcohol has never solved any problems, only intensifies them and creates new problems. Life will deal you problems drunk or sober. I've found that I can solve problems easier and more rationally sober.

So I have gotten an appointment to see a drug recovery specialist now. It's on the 29th. Wonder if he can help me finding another place to live...
drunken *******, i wish you the best for the 29th. there are many d&a specialists who are brilliant and can refer you to all sorts of services. many rehabs provide opportunities for short-term half-way houses. after i finished quite a long rehab, i was able to finish my uni degree, get a fantastic apartment and a great job and stayed clean for a number of wonderful years. you just have to want it hard enough. it seems you do so try and stay positive and, importantly, as honest as you can.

drunken: good for you for talking to your doctor about this and for seeing a specialist on the 29th! I hope you keep us updated on what the specialist has to say, too.
The thing is, life will always feel unmanageable WHILE you are still using alcohol. I can hear the alcohol in your words, twisting how things are perceived for you, WANTING for you to keep drinking. I've re-read my earlier posts from when I just started this site, and wow....the addiction REALLY warped how I thought...still does at times.
I promise you that if you want to stop, you CAN! And you absolutely will feel tremendous relief and manageability in your life again. It can only get better, right?
