New here Hi my name is Alec and I am an alcoholic/addict. I have been drinking and drugging for over 20 years. I have had enough. I am so shaky I can barely type this. I messed up my first attempt at registering because I can't remember my email account password. I feel like I am going insane. I have 6 hours of sobriety I really hope I can get sober for life. I hope everyone has a great day. |
Hi Alec, May i suggest to see a doc first, and stop under medical supervision Paddy |
I think I will Paddy, this is bad real bad. |

Welcome Alec! |
Thanks guys. I have my brother coming to get me. The sheer amount of booze and drugs I have taken over the years is mind blowing. I can't do this without a Dr. for now. I will work on the long term after this hell is over. I never want to go through this again. |

You'll find awesome support here. Best of luck on your new journey! |
I am glad your brother is coming to get you. You really need to get out of that abusive situation. Seeing a doctor to detox is the best thing you can do. You CAN do this. Try and surround yourself with people that love and care about you. You are worthy. Your ex is a coward. If you would have stayed, the abuse would have gotten worse. Believe me. He may try to get you back. Calling and telling you he is sorry. He wont do it again. When that fails, he may tell you that you cannot make it on your own. Keep moving forward. It is obvious you want help and you want to quit. You are not alone. This site has so many people that are in or have been in the same situation that you are. It is like a family here. Good luck love. Prayers for you. |

Welcome to SR |
Welcome Alec! Yes, you never have to go through this again. Hope to hear from you soon. |
:welcome ...please take care. |
Welcome...:wave: Good to know you are getting help....that is really wise. |
Welcome Alec :) I hope you'll check in and let us know how you're doing :) D |
Good to see your taking the first types of recovery. Have you thought about DETOX? |
Please let us know how you are doing. Medical supervision is a good idea for a safe and more comfortable withdrawal.:hug: |
Hi and welcome, I know where you are coming from , i also not but 35 days ago was doing the same. Unbelievable amount of alcohol and drugs/ i could type either and wound up going in to the emergency room, thankfully .:) Hope hear from you soon , and you have found a great place here in SR. |
Hello. Stay strong and best of luck to you. |
Hi and welcome. I wish you a safe and successful detox, will be waiting to hear your update once you get back on here. All the best. |
First few days are always the worst. Best of luck. |
Thank's everyone. The Doc was very worried about the mixing of substances that I had been doing, and said I might not of made it much longer. I have kicked cold turkey before in jail but that was many years ago and I was much younger and stronger. I spent most of the day in the county clinic and so glad I did. I wish I could afford a full detox clinic, but I can't. Wow am I glad I looked on google about mixing alcohol and other assorted drugs or I would have never found this site. What I was feeling was no regular hangover.. as if there is such a thing. That is what I told myself for years. I've been cleaning my place up, and I have been finding bottles that I hid! Man, I am sure glad I didn't find one last night. Why was I hiding them? I live alone, go figure. Never want to smell that stench of bourbon again. Poured them all out.. felt good. I go back to the clinic tomorrow for another check up. After that my plan is trying to save my job, and get some long term help. I think I might try AA what do I have to lose? I am still a bit foggy and going to try and sleep. Thank you all. |
thanks for checking in Alec - glad you're ok. D |
Good for you for pouring out the liquor. It will get better if you work at it. Hang in there. |
