I just drank. Only a glass of wine. But I drank. I am powerless. I am sorry to have wasted this time. I really just want to get better or be put out. I need help. How stupid am I.

It's a really bad idea to keep it around. Get rid of what you have and continue on with your plan to go to the ER.

I am house sitting and I found it. Called my sponsor. I have no fight in me.

Dump what you have and make some coffee.

One glass doesn't have to be a bottle or a box unless you choose it--

You posting here is an excellent first step to taking back control.
You can do it from right now this minute scotty.

Well done calling your sponsor

silentrun

Don't feel guilty about dumping it even if it's not yours. It is going down the sink or down your throat anyway. I know you are having a rough time with the anxiety. Hold on until you can get to the ER. They have medicine that will help you. You are doing it right by calling your sponsor and posting.

I'm sorry too Scotty.

I hope that you stop drinking now and start to work on your recovery.

Okay. You drank a glass of wine. You have admitted that you are powerless. Yet, I am confused about "what time" you wasted?

One thing that I think you should work on is the beating yourself up over this. If you were so stupid, you wouldn't have come to this forum.

You say that you need help. Gosh, that doesn't sound like a stupid person. Stupid folks don't admit that they may be in trouble.

I rarely make suggestions about 12-step programs. However, I think that you may want to consider going to an AA Meeting just for today.

Bless you for coming this far...

You can turn this around Scotty, pour the rest out!!

SoberLeigh

Pour it out, scotty. I am sure that your Mom would want you to do that than drink it.

Pour it out. You can always give her money for a new bottle, if need be. Better than drinking it.

Did you get a hold of your sponsor? Might be time for an emergency meeting trip.

alcohol was my solution to living comfortably in my body and in the world, without a new solution I am bound to drink.....

work those steps (I did them multiple times the first year) so you can find relief

Do you have a regular Dr LScotty - it might be good to see them about the anxiety and the panic attacks?

Drinking only contributes to both those things - it's no solution.

I'm sorry for your pain, LScotty - but maybe this will be it. We have to be ready, and you sound disgusted with the way things are going. There's no doubt that you can stop and never go back there again.

Scotty,

You need to go to the ER and submit to psychiatric treatment. I say this as someone who's "been there", not a self-deluded random poster.

Go to the ER and express yourself. Demand treatment.

You can't listen to posts that contain smiley-faces about your situation; your situation is grave, and what you've expressed suggests a need for treatment.
