Ok

I am going to say this once, only.

I haven't been able to say it ever before, not in writing, not at all.

I think I am an alcoholic.

there, it's said.

Welcome to the family! I'm an alkie too. Tho I've been sober now for over four years but still remember what it was like to be drinking.

You'll find a lot of support here. I'm glad you joined us.

Thank you both. I'm so scared but I think I really have to run with this. I want to quit this time, and tonight I have failed badly.

I have bipolar. I recently jumped out a window, I broke an ankle, I am on crutches. It feels awful. I stopped drnking for 2 weeks after but I couldn't keep it up and I meant it to be long term. I don't know where to turn.

Is it contagious?

What are your plans for this problem of yours?

It's GREAT! Just about everyone is afraid to enter that first meeting, but everyone there has had to go to their first one also. They remember what it was like. So...tell them it's your first meeting. You will not find a more welcoming or more understanding group of people on the planet. Lots of meetings near by too!

At the moment I have really limited mobility because I have a broken ankle and am on crutches. I really need to go to one but might have to wait 'til I'm up an -haha- running again.

I will. Thanks for the support, I need it right now. Feeling so alone now I've admitted it.
