Difficulty coming out of relapse

Relapse is coming up to one month. I’m struggling to come out of it! Any advise?

Do everything you can.

Empty your house of booze.
Dumping it is better than drinking it.

Do not buy more.

Consider seeing your dr or a counsellor for help.

Think about AA SMART or some other meeting based support group and go to meetings.

Investigate non meeting based approaches like Rational Recovery/AVRT if that is your bag.

Post here daily and often for help, or to help others.

I spent entire days on SR in the beginning, Those were days I did not drink.

Make a recovery action plan

If you absolutely cannot stop drinking, then maybe you need detox/rehab (inpatient or outpatient)?

The bottom line is if you want to quit it takes effort. Stable.
Its not going to pleasant for a little while but it might save you a lot of pain.

Damn sorry I remember tryna quit all the time, it was mad how hard it was. Have you a family member/friend who have a dry house you could stay the night maybe? I know that's something I came to rely on.

Can you go to a mtg? See if you can help sweep or mop. That makes me feel part of it all. Hang in there.

Not to oversimplify it but you've got to want to be sober more than you want to drink. That is key.

Not exactly what you mean by "coming out of relapse" - are you sober now?

Echo what Dee said.

And yep, you have to choose not to drink, every day, and go from there.

Glad you made it back - we don't get unlimited chances.

Stable, let's stop playing around here. You're asking for advice. You don't need advice. You need help, and you already know where to find it.

Operate the 'HALT' principle.

Try not to get in situations where you are excessively;

Hungry

Angry

Lonely

Tired

The only other thing is to try and seek as much support as you can from as many sources as you can. I wish you the best of luck.
