Oh maty am so sorry you are going through such hell. There are many here who will be able to advise you on how to overcome your addiction, I just wanted to send you a virtual hug. You have come to the right place, today you have made a step forward into a better brighter life. Elle😊
"I shouldn't drink"
"I cant' stop"
"I need to stop"
These phrases are common among alcoholics of my type. We know these things long before we stop.
The missing phrase is "I desperately WANT to stop, and am willing to do anything to accomplish this"
If you really want to stop, then we can help you find a way.

Welcome back Maty. The anxiety really stinks, and it usually gets worse every time we drink. You can stop if you truly want to, but you may need help: Have you considered trying meetings ( AA, smart, life ring, etc ) or even derox/rehab? Some of is needed that extra accountability; at least to get started.

And now again today. I see some pretty serious issues in all of these....perhaps going back and reading them will help you realize the extent of the problem?

What are you doing for support? I am a lone wolf. No friends or family in the area. I realized in treatment, while surrounded by people, that I need friends. I need alcoholics in recovery around me. I cannot do this alone. I have attended AA on and off for years. But I think I always had, in the back of mind, I'm not one of them. But I am. Normal society does not work for me right now. But a group of drunks? Perfect.
