Newbie climbing aboard
 

Dear friends,

Last Monday, I drank all night. At midnight, I wound up on the bathroom floor, clinging to the toilet, being sick as a dog. Passed out in bed and spent the next day basically sleeping it off. I managed to wrench my back with all my drunken flailing, so that's just an additional bonus to the self-loathing I'm feeling right now. I live alone and drink alone most of the time. I am now 3 days sober and heading to AA tonight. I am feeling such depression, panic and self-hatred right now, and am really foggy in the head. I know this is a result of my drinking and poisoning myself. I'm probably lucky to be alive.

I give up...I cannot handle alcohol in any way, shape or form. I need help. I need a slap upside the head. I need a hug.

Welcome...I just wish that you walk out of that meeting with half the amount of HOPE that I walked out of my first meeting with...This is a great site for support...Use it.

You are in good company, Tinder. Glad you're here. You can stay stopped, you really can. Welcome.

And here's a hug for you!:kiss: (it'll have to do ... I couldn't find the "hug" smiley!)

Hi Tinder, welcome aboard. Good luck with your first AA meet, tell us all about it when you come back

Hi Tinder!

I feel for you....:hug: I remember those mornings well and they only got worse as I continued to drink.

Hang in there (get some vitamin B complex) and keep reading and posting - you're not alone. :c031:

Hope your back feels better soon and you enjoy your meeting.
