Do you have any support groups, like AA or others in your area you can go to? I found at first that being with others that had similar problems helped a lot. Writing helps too so write everything you're feeling on here. That's the good thing about anonymity on the net. We can be truly anonymous.

Seriously, it will be OK and everyone understands how nervewracking it is at first.

Wow, I knew I had ruined some relationships but I didn't realize just how badly I have treated the people in my life I love the most. A sober conversation I just had with a friend was pretty informative about my recent behavior. I have been a violent, cruel, hate filled monster of a person. I don't remember most of the month of Feb. Lest the groundhog day routine of waking up in the bathroom floor and trying to make it to work on time. Then walking in the door and taking the first few shots of whiskey. Dang, I am ashamed and embarrassed and want and deserve better for myself and my friends and family. Not to mention what this is doing to my body, I am 27 and feel like 107. Especially tonight, ugh. I feel terrible. I'm glad to have a place to say things though. I don't know anyone right now who can relate to this thing. Thanks for listening.

FTP....you are going to be okay...we all here have had our own hell and lived to tell about it. Its normal to feel crappy physically but you need to be careful and go to the er if you need to....withdrawal from alcohol can actually be deadly!
As long as you have access to the internet you aren't alone...someone is on SR at all times

Congrats on taking some steps toward doing something about your drinking.
Just the act of writing on here that we have a problem can be empowering, can create momentum...but the trick is keeping it going.
Try and get to an AA meeting. You'll find the solidarity and purpose you see on here, in person. And it will never be as hard as the first meeting.
