So I finally crossed a line
So I finally crossed a line
I am losing control, I believe. I am afraid, angry, and very lonely.. Where do I go from here? I am sliding away from myself, inside, and it hurts.
I just want to change, that's all and its just NOT working. I am becoming addicted to alcohol I think, and ive never felt more alone..
What does one do? I feel like a shameful piece of nothing, Literally. HOW can I get back to being me.
Can anyone even hear me?

I hear you.
I have been there - and so have most of our friends here.
Have you made out your asset list? Listing out all the best things about you?
It helped me to really see the value of myself, instead of the negatives.
You are NOT a shameful piece of nothing.

I want to be the best me I can be. Life's daily grind is just getting to me. IM depressed., afraid, and I have no guidance and don't know who to turn to, its just hurting, Badly. Ive never been this bad off, ive been hinging for....a few weeks? A day off in between, maybe but now the wedge has fully forced itself in. What have I done?!?
Does anyone know what I mean? That sense of losing yourself?

Wish ya the Best of Luck ...

Quitting is hard, but far from impossible. SR is a great place to find out how - read lots and ask lots of questions. Some use this site alone for their recovery, others need more structured/local help like AA or Counseling. Depending on how long and how much you've been drinking, outpatient or even inpatient Detox might be something to explore.
A great first step would be to see your doctor or a local drug/alcohol clinic and see if you are OK to detox on your own. There are medicines and programs that can help if you are not.
Bottom line, you can do this if you really want to. And we are here to help.
Good to see you again BoyRacer.
I lost myself so completely I forgot about ever being someone else but the neighbourhood drunk.
We tend to really overcomplicate the process but in essence it's simple. Stop drinking. Find the right support to stay sober.
simple - not easy...but neither is the life we lead as drinkers.
Find support - make the lifestyle changes you need to make.
You can do this, BoyRacer
