Not true. We DO get it. We've been where you are. But nothing changes if nothing changes. You can sit there feeling sorry for yourself and giving yourself more reasons to go buy a bottle, or you can say you've had enough and reach out for help.
VL, please get some help. Help is available if you want it.

You're sorry you posted? Is that b/c we're giving you solutions?
Do you want to quit drinking? If so, we can help.
Either way, I wish you peace in your life and for those in your life as well.

Get some rest and sober up, man.
You'll be able to think things through better and possibly patch things up with PAB.
Not being holier - promise. :-)

Oh man I can't tell you how many times I have had a day like yours...ending with my SO not talking to me for days...
Cooking stuff ...then the next morning thinking someone else was doing something in my kitchen...or half remembering starting to cook soemthing with a recipe and it morfing into something completely different lol...
Broke my leg drunk....broke it so bad I had to have pins and a plate put in...it's kind of embarrassing telling people how I broke it...."Oh I tripped over a pile of shoes at my house" its the truth too...but the break is the kind a snow skiier should have lol...
All I can say is get help...get to some meetings, they have resources, detox...etc
My SO was at the tail end of a thread of a rope with me, only thing that convinced him was me doing the work, my talking, pleading, begging, promising didn't work anymore.
Good luck hon! *hugs*

2004-lost job (not due to dinkining)
2004 Liver failure
2006-hip replacement ( Avascular Nacrosis-due to drinking)
2007-cancer (Sqamous Cell Carcinoma-due to drinking)
2008-hip replacement (same reason)
2011-need knee replacment (same reason)
The worst, for me, was the cancer....feeding tube, radiation, chemo.....I went from 185 to 116 pounds in a matter of weeks. Still today, can't really taste most things, still thin.......and can I just ask, why do people think its ok to tell someone they need to gain weight.....but not ok to tell someone.....you're to fat?

still drank
February 2009 - colon cancer/ I had a colostomy had to wear a bag for 9 months and if that wasn't bad enough, I had chemo during that time.
I drank even more, cause it was so depressing and disgusting dealing with the bag I wanted to die.
October 2010 had my colong reattached. Phew! What a relief.
Still drank, but wanted to stop. I also was on several other meds.
I fell down fractured my back, I fell and fractured my right wrist,
I still drank
I wanted to finally stop but couldn't.
I took my husband's suggestion to go to rehab. It was the best one week vacation I had!!!!

Man threads like this take me back. Just waking up with the horrors and picking up the bottle again. Whoever mentioned 'alcoholic insanity' earlier hit the nail on the head.
VL - IDK how old you are but I'm getting the impression that this life is all you've known for a long time. Please reach out and get help before it's too late. Things are pretty dire now.

VL - I drank for 20 years - the last seven of those all day everyday.
I really believe noone is above help and that it's never too late to turn things around - but we have to reach out and ask for help.
Please make a call - whether it's 911 or AA hotline or Salvation Army Detox or some other help that you know of.
