In times of stress especially family stress i drink... wtf am I to do?! Ive had a major anger outburst and taken a dimazipam my normal go to remedy is no longer an option. I wanna cry majorally.
Alcohol won't fix the problem. It will make it worse.
If you are at their house, leave. If they are at your house, leave.
Maybe take some time away from your family if there is a lot of anger. Crying might be good!
You can make it through the moment/hour without drinking. The feelings are just feelings, thoughts. You don't have to drink. They will pass.
Take a walk. Have a sandwich. Find a happy movie to watch. Take a hot bath. Keep posting.

Talk it out, take a walk, hit a pillow, go someplace calm. Try and remember that you are simply experiencing feelings....and they will pass. Drinking is not a escape, it makes it all worse. Especially if you decide to mix it with other drugs like you've already taken. Stay here and post all you like....this will pass.
Im crying. All I want is peace. I dont need this right now for god sake. Ive had enough. Ive been through so much. All i want is peace from my past and my relationships. Its been a tough few years for us all. I cannot be held responsible for other peoples actions ya know. Ive enough on my plate dealing with my own.
The diazepam will kick in soon.
You'll be okay.
I had to pull way back from my family and certain other people in my life. The biggest thing I protect these days is my serenity. Anyone who causes me a lot of pain, I have to figure out if it is worth spending time with them or not.
Happiness is an inside job, it doesn't come in a bottle, in a pill, or in relationships. If you are newly sober, it's going to take some time. Be gentle with yourself. You are healing.

Ive had a bath and had a complete melt down and feeling a bit more calmer. Dimizpam kicked in tried so hard not to take any today... i know I cant rely on them... just hope drug and alcohol counselling get in touch soon to help me get through this without meds. Im i dunno... so sad at the mo. All I want is peace.
Ive had enough. Ive battled post natal depression, depression, ptsd and now im going through this how much more does life want to throw at me. I need to stay focused ive gotten through that (which is probably why im an alcoholic in the first place) i know this is the toughest challenge of my life because... my crutch has gone. I gotta learn how to cope with life without drink....whoah. At the mo that scares me.
Blueberry i feel for you honestly. Can relate to needing a good cry at times. Hope you're feeling a bit better by posting on SR. Try to make it a habit. I've only been here a week & it's been very useful. Great info, advice from experienced ppl, games etc.
I second SoberWolf on something sweet. It truly does work. & Congrats on day 4 i think you're on?

Lots of us here have co-occurring coping problems. PTSD and depression are really common.
Alcohol makes these 1000 times worse. The longer you stay away from the alcohol (and hopefully, eventually, the diazepam) the better your brain will get. There is no way to fully heal from psychological disorders when drinking - alcohol just magnifies the depression and anxiety.
Do some research on meditation, there are a lot of guided meditations on the web, or on YouTube. Meditation (mindfulness) and prayer are two of my most important tools.

I'm glad you got through that blueberry
The more times we can get through things without drinking, the more capable we become of dealing with things.
I'm glad you're resisting the urge to take more diazepam too- stick with whatever directions your Dr gave you
