Panache

Trachemys you're too good for this, you're funny, you're smart and you're liked. You shouldn't be tired of being you, because I think you're ace.

Get back on here and post. It's never too late to quit, you need to help yourself here by reaching out. Perhaps it's time to look at other options in getting sober: AA, doctors etc. Exhaust every option before you even think about giving up.

Keep trying, get back up. Make today your last drink.

Take care pal. X

Aw Trach! Really sorry to here that, was in the same boat 3 days ago. I have a feeling you''ll stick around though, we need our Class Tortoise.

Hang in there, we're all rooting for you buddy

Totally agree with Panache, keep trying mate, we need your dry sense of fun.

Temporary blip, man.

Ignore all the negatives and embrace the positives. A minor stray doesn't impact the long-term benefits of being clean.

Plus you have some serious responsibilities - like a reptile and a stunted forest to look after.

Oh man, sorry to read that, hope you pick yourself up, dust yourself off and come back fighting... You know it makes sense...

phebe

come back trach.

trachemys

If y'all will allow me to fight back...

sandgirl

Trach-come on butt, we can do this! :-)

trachemys

Scuse me?

Mrbeagle

You can do this Trach, one sober day behind you and you will be a different person. If we can all fight this thing, so can you buddy. I know you've got it in ya, and we need your sense of humour round here. Drag that little tortoise back to sobriety!

Saskia

Trach, hang in here with us! You are worthwhile and will find your way. It's not a failure unless you quit trying. I know it's hard, but I also know you can do this!

God Im so angry - tears steaming. am so close to adrink i can taste it. wed is start of weekend for me. husband going out for drink as usual on wed night - i so want to have one too. he syas he will stay home - dont want him to. he says if I canjust get one week under belt - but i really dont want advice from him. ive told him to stop wiith the advice and just go out so i can try to get my head round this. dont want a drink cos will hate myself tomorrow but **** it I am so angry right now that I just to lash out and scream. and that ****ing 2 year old having a tantrum has been joined by his mates x 20.

Mrbeagle

Snaggle is there anything you can do to take your mind off the urge to drink? Even just a hot shower or something, anything to try and keep yourself occupied and ride it out. You don't need any of us to tell you that having a drink will just make it worse, I know every time I cave I feel no better after drinking.

Once we realise we have a problem, drinking becomes something that isn't enjoyable anymore, it becomes to me, something that I just 'do', a habit. The longer you keep that cycle broken, the bigger the gaps in between urges will be, and the severity of them will lower too.

I hope you're okay and hanging in there

Snaggle, STAY STRONG!!! You can do it, we all believe in you!

Hey Snaggle. Here is what has helped me...

Deep breaths with eyes closed and my mantra: This will pass. This will pass.

Keeping my body moving - long walk or something else to give my body something to do.

Visualizing the "morning after" -the hangover, the shame, the terror of wondering what I said and what I did.

If nothing else, a big hug to you my friend. You can do this. Really, you can.

Snaggle

Thanks Mr B - hanging at the minute - but cant focus on anything - am clearing spare room and hoping it will pass. Its just the uncontrollable rage that has possessed me is unreal

I know all what you say is 100% but my ****ed brain is telling me different on so many levels. sorry for the swear words even if they are blanked out - but it just as well you cant hear me right now.

Snaggle

Thanks Budd and North - the morning after is actually the only thing stopping me at the minute

Northlander

Hey Snaggle

This is the place to do this and we are the folks to talk about it with - whether the language is clean or not. We don't care about any of that. Just about you, my friend.

Please Snaggle don't turn you anger onto yourself, if you drink it will only be hurting you don't give in don't give in don't give in. Love you sweetie
