I am so glad you decided to take the help & I hope, with all my heart, that the help will show you there is a way out... I think everybody who read that knows how you feel & understands your pain & frustration & despair. I know I do. I remember it soooooo well. But there IS a way out. Your decision to accept help was a truly brave,incredibly courageous thing for you to do. Kudos!

Right now God is saying, help you, what do you mean? I sent you a friendly cop, a supportive family member and an employer with a treatment program.
WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE!!!!

I didn't get a chance to read all these great replies but I just want to say DON'T bury cause it will happen again. Face the problem head on. Take the assistance. It may be the best thing you have ever done. Not sure what your reservations are besides embarrassment but some people will be amazingly supportive.

Thanks again for your replies everyone They are a lifeline.
I'm not going to bury this; I am going to journal it, and then when I get one, share it with a sponsor.
In the meantime, I'm just trying to stay afloat. I really feel like I'm on a cold planet orbiting the earth. It's the hot death of summer, but I only check in for little bits at a time.
Not a suicide risk, no worries. I have my moments, but I could never do that because of my family and my cats. Too selfish, even for me. Outright mean, I think. That would be an act of aggression.
I don't know where I would be without SR. I do four times as much reading as I do posting, and it is all so valuable.
Tommorrow is Day 1. I hope.

Oh drama, drama, drama...lol...I am exhausted.
Today was day one - almost over, and a bit of a freebie because I'm really too sick to drink, but I'll take it.
Apropos of nothing, I'm putting in the popcorn eater.
Well, actually I'm hungry. Really hungry. I'm getting something to eat, clean my self up, and go to bed. Maybe read a bit.
Day 1!! Boom. Done.
