Hi Laura,

I think the only way to get rid of the fear is to face it and get through it. I know how terrifying it is to accept your own addiction and know that you have to deal with it. But, you can do this. I used to black out too sometimes and it is so very terrifying. You don't have to go through it again!

I'm on the phone right now with my insurance company to get the name of a counselor who specializes in alcoholism

Hi Laura,

Your post touched me in a special way..I remember when, I remember the pain, I remember the fear, and I remember doing the things necessary to begin a life of sobriety...Through this forum and the halls of AA I found life again...

YOU CAN TOO...


It looks like you are ready to surrender to your addiction which is necessary to live a life of recovery...

Laura...

I feel for you so much and can I ever relate!. I'm in the same boat as you and others who have tried repeadly to quit and those who have tried everything. I just came off a three-day binge and here it is 1:00AM in the morning and I should be in bed and yet here I sit with a monster hangover, feeling hopless and Christmas is less than 30 days away and I DREAD being drunk on Christmas. It does'nt help that I have neighbors from hell and a house infested with rats.

I realize that just "relating" to your predicament is'nt going to be of much help but all I can tell you is that you are not alone and that I am here for you if you ever want to talk or just need a friend.

I wish I could get rid of the fear. I'm afraid I can't stop. I'm afraid if I don't I'lll end up killing myself.
