So what the f do I do.

I have a black eye. Broken nose. Broken thumb.

Really?

I slugged a cop.

I ran out of the hospital in my briefs.

I lost it.

My partner punched me in the face over and over.

What do I do? What?

Fallow

Oh im sorry to hear this Ken.

LDT

Please tell us what happened, Ken.

Weasel1966

Me too. I cannot believe this. Really? This is not me. This hurts so damn much. I am sorry to come here and say this. But I have no one to help me. .... But me.

I drank. I was so drunk that .... My partner broke my nose. I was carted away inan ambulance and slugged a cop.

Wtf????

Ken - there must be someone you can turn to. You should have some help and support right now. Were you checked out at the hosiptal - perhaos you need further medical attention. First and foremost you must make sure you are physically OK.

Weasel1966

I looked in the mirror... I have a black eye and my nose is broke in two places.... Yes they let me go from the hospital.

How do we solve addictions? How do we make it better?

MIRecovery

Stay sober! A drink will only make things worse.

Life does not stop because we are sober or because we relapsed. Take it a day at time and do the next right thing. Do not live in the future because we only can control what we do today.

Things will get better they always do but we have to get through the pain sober to come out on the other side.

I will be saying a prayer for you and remember you are not alone. You have brought a lot of healing to many of us.

Xune

One thing, don't pick up the bottle.

Is the police officer injured?

Weasel1966

I cannot believe I am telling you all this. I am so sad.

I am a good guy. Painfully normal. What do I do? I cannot see out of my right eye.

Weasel1966

I will not drink .

I think I am still buzzed.

Please don't judge me.

soberjim

Ken...What MIRecovery said! Don't drink..

Jim

MIRecovery

Weasel, Nobody is judging you. We have all been there, done that. You did what drunks do and this is why we can not drink.

What you do next is what you will be judged on.

Weasel1966

What I will do next is take care of me. No drinking. No drugs.

I just need to know I am not alone.

This is not me. I am way better than this.

TTBABP

Ken - you cannot change what has already happened but you need to sober up, tend to your injureies and get ready to face some consequences. I would never judge you lest I have to let you judge my long list of improprieties, mistakes and indiscretions. I will not and do not judge you BUT you have to pull yourself together now and start to try to make things right.

Fallow

Were you charged? Jail?!

Hopefully this is your rock bottom. I found mine on friday night..

Weasel1966

I ran out of the hospital in my underwear in the rain.... I was tackled by security. OMG....

I must have looked like an ass. I was an ass.

They carted me away in an ambulance.

What do I do with that? What do I say to myself?

And F my partner. He pummeled me. Really?

I am so....

MIRecovery

Yes you are better than this but it is the drugs and alcohol that turn us into monsters.

What will you do to strengthen your recovery so you do not go down this road again. Start living in the solution not the problem

No judgement here Ken. I am so glad you are reaching out. You reached out to me after my last relapse and we are all here to help eachother. Don't let this incidient waver your hope for living a sober life. As traumatizing as my last relapse was, I truly believe now that without it (the bad situatiion) I would still be out there drinking and living a painful, lonely & miserable life. Are you going to AA? Can you reach out to any people there? Even if you aren't you can go to a meeting and I am sure you will get some great face to face support. And you are right, the drinking Ken is NOT you & you will get thru this. Hang in there buddy and I hope you feel better soon (hugs)
