Hey, don't leave us - what's going on?
Edit - Just dawned on me. Do you want to reverse the relationship probs? Best way to do that, is prove people wrong - stay sober, make a success of your life.
When people see you're truly trying, they may just change their mind

Sorry to hear you are having a tough time. It's times like these when you need more support not less. Why not stay and let us try and help you?. Lots of people here care.

I had an ex-gf kick me out of the house too. I was passed out drunk in the day time when she came home. I woke up to two police officers telling me to get packed. I hopped on bus to my parents place and from there entered rehab.

Look at this as an opportunity to change your life. Do you have family/friends to stay with?

I'm not sure if this is a done deal or just you panicking but...

You can get sober anywhere AW- I got sober in the same house I got drunk in for years.

the surrounds and the neighbourhood didn't change - but I did.

You can make this work- if you want to?

No one wants to hear this one, very sad AW, been following your posts for some time.

That said, your life is still yours to live, no matter what the conditions that others or money or time or disease put on it. It's up to you.

Where's that wristband that reminded you of why you were sober? Get that out and get your head back in the game! Even if you go home can't it be different! Surely you are stronger then that, I know you are!

You could try and look at it as an opportunity to get and stay sober. Maybe this is bottom for you?

People can and do get sober in much worse conditions than you AW. It seems tough I know but the reality is you still have a roof over your head and someone to take care of you, maybe just not in the ideal place for you at the moment. Giving up your sole means of support during the time when you need it more than ever is probably not the best decision you can make either.

There are AA meetings, counselors, rehabs and doctors in Baltimore too. YOU are the reason that you will succeed or fail, regardless of where you live or what your living conditions are. And it's your choice - you can look at this as a fork in the road where you finally get serious about sobriety, or you can fall back into the hole of self pity and use it as an excuse to drink again. Either is completely possible, pending your choice. Which do you choose?

None of that is true AW and you know it. You have an entire community here at SR that stands by you and has for months, and still does. You also have a free plane ticket back home and you mentioned in the past a roof over your head with your parents.

You have the choice to view this for what it is - quite possibly the last wake up call to do the right thing or keep drinking. We will be here to support you the whole time, but we can't help you if you wont let us.
