If you don't want to talk, how about just reading? Lots of insights and a deep well of been-there-so-we-get-it stories on this site.
Don't let your momentary discomfort keep you from finding support. You don't have to go through this alone.
I hope you'll get a good meal, maybe take a hot shower and a nap and then continue on your sober quest. It will get better - and quite quickly once you make it past the first few days.

You will be ok......if you stop drinking
You won't be ok.....if you continue drinking
Talk about it or not, you seem to have a serious choice to make.
Be ok or not.
You can make the right choice, be ok, and start living a new life.
Start now

Like Anna says we are always here to listen and to suggest ideas.
It took me a long time to really recover from years of trauma and addiction, but the key thing is to keep trying.
We can never lose if we never give in
Small steps are still steps.

I’m ok thanks for replying. I drank again had I so didn’t want to. Just so fed up why why why do I do it fed up of myself now. How many chances do I get? I didn’t want to drink but I didn’t have the strength to not. Drank bottle of wine and two pints of cider, my head feels so messed up. I don’t want to do this anymore help

No problem Eve. Glad you're reaching out.
Its a shi**y feeling when this happens.
There is guilt, shame and frustration.
My prayer every day is for all people to be free of suffering.
I think we have been through.enough
Fail and fail again until you find what works for you.
Just remember this disease wants you to hate yourself. That way it can convince you to have another drink. And another.

it would be better to not drink, find something that works. if that doesnt work, dont drink and find something else.
this disease wants us dead. it will make people believe that if something aint workin its ok to drink until something else is found.

Yeah...I can't talk about this anymore.
Sorry if my words to eve meant to prevent a shame and self esteem spiral were eomehow offensive.
Fact is Im waiting for 9:00 to head out to the doctor because I need help or Im dead, with or without alcohol.
I can no longer deal on my own.
I just dont believe in scare tactics.
If they worked there wouln't be an epidemic or over crowded jails.
Sometimes folks just need to be stabilized before they're open for the next step.
Im speaking for myself. Maybe others feel the same way, maybe not. I dont know
