CopanoBay

Six (6) days (and nights) of drinking beer!!! I need help!!!

PurpleKnight

Hey CopanoBay, welcome back!!

You seem to have had quite a few binges recently, are you getting enough support? or doing things on your own, as it doesn't seem to be working!!

You need to change up your plan and go at it again! You can do this!!

CopanoBay

No I'm truly embarassed to seek help.

PurpleKnight

There's no need to be embarrassed, I and many others spent soo much time trying to get Sober and never achieving it, I was going round and round in circles, in continuous frustration and anger at myself.

But like SR, all other methods of support have heard it all before, as many have experienced the same things, whether it is doctors, AA etc etc!!

In the end I figured I really had nothing else to loose by trying something different!! and that's the key, the results don't change unless we give something different a go!!

We have everything to gain!!

If you need more support, please get it.
The fact that you keep slipping suggests you need to "change up" your plan
What about talking to your doctor, or trying an AA meeting?

Don't give up and you will succeed

You shouldn't be embarrassed, we didn't create the disease of addiction. We do have to do something about it though. You need to think long and hard about the steps you are willing to take to get over this. You MUST be willing to do anything. After all, you could die from this. The embarrassment from that would be much greater to your loved ones. Hope you find the answers soon. Hang in there and good luck. Keep coming back

Friend in 6 days and nights I am sure you feel horribly, I am quite certain your brain is toast and you feel like crap. Well friend, I am glad you logged on to SR, I used to binge on weekends no so long ago. I know right now, quitting is going to hurt, but not stopping is going to hurt right?

You're going to need a plan the withdrawals after such an episode are going to be hard. Sit there and think, how can I stop, be safe, and get to feeling better? IF YOU START SHAKING, OR HAVE ISSUES YOU CAN"T CONTROL PROMISE ME YOU WILL GET TO A DOCTOR, CALL 911. Its important, that you get help if things get bad.

Now to a plan, start by creating a support group, ask family or friends to help you. If that isn't a possibility get to AA, Smart RECOVERY, or find a support group that works for you.

Try to focus, and try not to stress, stopping is going to be hard, but it is possible, don't fret you always will have someone here for you 24 7, just get a plan hunker down for the ride and get ready to have the best life ever in sobriety its worth it. Tonight I hope you are doing ok friend, stay safe and I hope sobriety for you TDG

I have found, in my numerous relapses, once I get past day one, my resolve becomes much stronger. Just do that one day......then see what happens. You must feel like ****. Praying.

Nuudawn

Copano...what you're doing isn't working. You need to do something different here. Wouldn't it be lovely if we could just decide "no more" and we just waltzed into the eternal sober sunset?

It rarely works that way.

How many times have you said "never again" only to find it again.
This is not an easy task. It's really, really, really, really hard.
You need a better plan friend.
