hi again
Hi all, so i'm not exactly new Ive been here a handful of times over the years (never more than an introduction or a few posts though before disappearing and returning to drinking)
I'm 24 now and have been in and out of hospitals for two years (injuries, withdrawal, alcohol poisoning), the last being just a few days ago (only overnight) everyone is definitely sick of me none more than myself, so this needs to change now.
I always felt like I could do it alone but I'm feeling like its at the point where I can admit i need some form of support now, and this seemed like the safest step towards that. I'm an very anxious person without alcohol so even communicating online is a bit tough for me, but I'm hoping i'm just desperate enough to do this now!
I've been prescribed medication just a few days ago (one for drinking and one anti depressant) which i've never wanted to take before, but I'm finally willing to try just about anything.
not sure what else to say apart from hi, thanks for being here and i hope everyone's doing well
Thanks for listening guys, hopefully I stick around this time!

Hey I haven't been here long but welcome back :-) well done on making the decision to quit again. Sounds like this is the right time for you now. Don't just disappear again make the most of every bit of support you can get because it really really helps. Good luck x

Immri - it's great to see you back here.
There's no doubt you can do it this time - you don't have to continue with that miserable way of life. You sound ready to make this change and get free. We're with you.

Hi Immri,
Welcome back, please remember, were not trained in any profession to advise you, were just like you, we drank to much, too often. The we tried to stop and have been relying on each other for support to stay stopped and trying to just live a life, where drink stops taking things away from us.
Wont you join us and stay we us, let us carry some of that burden through honesty and free speech. When you feel like reaching for a drink, reach out for a keyboard and talk to us.
Good luck

So young- but promising that you are reaching out for help now! Do it! Don't be like me looking back at 30+ years of drinking wondering what could of, should have been. I kept myself in an environment that promoted/sustained drinking. Don't do that.
Life is an unlikely miracle.
