I can't live like this anymore

Its killing me. I'm driving people away that I love coz of my binge drinking,
My partners had enough he can't cope with me accusing him of cheating and lieing when he's not. My head is so messed up I need serious help.

Atm I'm laid on my sofa with my son asleep on me, I keep thinking I'm gonna die in my sleep or that I'm gonna hurt someone, I just want this anxiety gone I want the ME I used to know back coz now I don't know who I am anymore I don't want to live like this anymore its so scary

I'm new to this myself; it seems like everyone struggles at first. Sobriety is a work in progress. Nobody gets it right the first time, or even the first few times. The point is to keep at it, keep learning, keep working on yourself, and remain vigilant at all times.

I hope you find the strength to keep trying, just as I am looking for that strength every day.

I remember feeling that way too Dawnie.
The key really is action and making changes - I'll glad you're looking at your options

Dawnie, I feel this way too: "I never seem to get it right." We are struggling against our own brain chemistry here. It is going to take a lot of continued effort to achieve our lofty goal of total sobriety.But we can do this!

I hope you can get there Dawnie. There's nothing left in the bottle for me (unless I chose to go back to feeling that way), I'm so glad I can see that and control it now.
Best Wishes.

Dawnie - I always thought I'd never get it right. I was afraid of dying, too. I could feel reality slipping away. I was too scared to continue drinking - I wasn't ready to let go of my life. Sounds like you've reached that point too.

I know you can do this and have a whole new life - you sound fed up with the way things are, and you're ready to try again. Please don't give up on yourself, Dawnie. We all care about you.

I sometimes have to remind myself : "I can choose to never feel that way again."
