Hi Mtphc 
I spent a lot of time here in my early days....he support really helped.
Are you open to maybe trying other things like seeing your Dr, or a counselor?
Maybe AA or some other meeting based programme like SMART Recovery or Lifering?
I know you've been in hospital before - is rehab an option?
I know it's exhausting binging and recovering but you really will get out of your recovery what you put into it.
Noone needs to life that alcoholic life a second longer than they want to - but you've got to be prepared to do some things and take some action.
Whats the least hardest thing in the suggestions I've made?
maybe start with that?

Welcome Mtphc,
The first few days are the worst of it. To get sober you need to not pick up. You need to fight for it right now. AA central in your area should have people available to call. If not call the next closest and so on. you'll get a voice to chat with. Post here as often as you want. Post here before picking up too. Right now you need to just live in the moment don't drink for the next 5 minutes then repeat. Read, go for walks, drink a ton of water, eat Whole Foods and don't F'n drink booze.

Hope today can be a better day Mtphc....don't buy anymore alcohol and dump out anything you have left. Today could be the day that you do something different too - see a doctor, go to a meeting, get some recovery related books, etc. You can make the change happen if you truly want to.

what happened to this from the other day:
"....and i just have to take action, go to as many meetings that I can, and work the steps ."
???????
did you go to any meetings from the time ya started your last thread?
M, ya say ya need help. if like me, you needed help a long time ago.
when I wanted help AND was willing do go to any lengths for victory over alcohol, that's when the miracle started happening.

Hi Mtphc,
This really is hard in the beginning , when those urges start try to find something else to do to take your mind of drinking, anything, housework , go for a walk , ring a friend , just get busy . Sending strength your way.

Things r bad right now, have missed too much work, yes I know, have mentioned meetings and all but when you're an alcoholic it's not easy. I'm going through a freaking binge right now, it's lasted days.
I want to thank everybody here, your comments have helped me immensely, but I just can't stop, I feel dizzy, nauseous. I think I'm close to alcohol poisoning. This is where I'm at right now, and I'm not looking for attention, I'm simply speaking my mind

I'm an alcoholic too - we all are here - it took hard work but I got sober and I stayed sober.
If I can do it you can too
If you're in the middle of a binge and you're worried about withdrawal, see a Dr, man.
A meeting sounds great too.
No matter how ill I was I could always make it to the liquor store...
go get some help mtphc- end the madness
