You;re not wasting forum space. This is exactly what SR is for :) It's your call but a thread is a way to get a lot of support and advice quickly from a whole lot of people. I think it's better than PM? D |

Thank you, you guys. I am a severe alcoholic, have come close to death too many times while detoxing. I'm just so tired of the game. I looked online and there are no meetings within walking distance of me. I'm in Waynesboro, VA right now. I don't know what to do - I managed to taper myself off of alcohol a couple of weeks ago. And then BAM! I'M BACK to drinking. I want to just get over this, once and for all. Please, I've been to a million meetings, heard everything. I don't know what to do at this point! |
Is rehab an option at all SG? Failing that can you ring the local AA office? maybe organise a lift? D |
Hi sobergirl. It's upsetting you, naturally. I'm finding that doing anything on my own always, like always, has a the same result _ same as you, back in the bottle. I stress about f****** everything!! What's the deal with walking to meetings? |

Furthermore, there is no phone number to even ensure people will be at the meeting. |
Have you considered a medically supervised detox? I don't believe that an ER can turn you away for lack of funds. If AA is not an option in your area, perhaps you could look into Celebrate Recovery or Smart Recovery? Also, I have heard members here talk about on-line AA meetings :http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j...94455598,d.aWw I have no experience with the above link - found it in a Google search. Some AA-ers should be along soon to point you in a better direction. |
You can call the AA National Hotline anytime, 24/7 1-855-435-5596 http://drug-alcoholhelpline.com/arti...84ehoC_Wjw_wcB There are a couple of other toll free phone numbers at that website. :hug: |
