New and confused
Hello everyone, forgive me as i am new to all this and not quite sure of my direction.
Well i am on here so i guess i have actually acknowledged that i have a drink problem, big question is where do i start to solve my problem and not bore you people to death!!
I have had major set backs in my life and pretty recently too, death and money problems have contributed to my drinking. Its got to the point where i wake up in a morning and if i dont give in to my craving then i will be physically sick and shake inside.
I really try and ignore the symptoms but its just easier to have a drink and make it go away, its just like taking paracetamol for a headache i guess.
I know its not the ideal solution but what helps the craving, the physical illness go away? I try to keep busy and keep my mind off it but it doesnt work, i always give in.
Any help and advice would be appreciated
John

John the first thing I would suggest is to see your doctor, be honest about your drinking and to get a full physical. Next would be to read over the link Carol provided which provides a good idea of what others have done with success.
John there is a solution if you are willing to find it and do what ever it takes to get and stay sober.

Johno - when you have that drink to subside the shaking, have you ever wanted another one?
I would drink to help with physical symptoms, then feel better - eventually I would just say "scr3w it" and get drunk.
Have you ever got drunk using alcohol to help with your withdrawl symptoms?
