Sick and tired and scared...

Never posted anywhere before, but just blew 2 weeks of sobriety on Friday night, and just about screwed everything up... so here I am trying againaigainagainagain.... but his time I feel different.

I have had a kind of epiphany and I want my life back with no threats hanging over me. I want to cherish the good things I have and not try and ruin it all...

So I reakon I need help, people to talk to and get me through, coz going alone never worked!

Thanks for reading, and hope I can make it through the fear tonight!

Peace x

It took a relapse, two weeks in, to convince me that my problem with alcohol dependence was a serious one and wasn't going to be conquered solely by the decision to quit. I sought out and used the support I needed to get and stay sober.

You can too.

Welcome to SR.

Doing it alone never worked for me either.

I could stop but never stay stopped.

So, I managed a few hours sleep, and am now panicking, sweaty and feeling so sick... and I finished my last drink 48 hours ago... cant believe I still feel so bad, have to go to work in 6 hours, not sure how on earth I will manage that

Still, it makes such a difference to actually know there are people out there to listen and not judge, so my insomnia is less lonely and frightening...

Thank you x

Its global!!! so many people from all over the world looking to get better... Its incredible really this drug we all crave and is ruining our lives is just there to get whenever, is cheap (ish) and is socially acceptable...

that makes it tough that you cant go anywhere without seeing it, people apparently having fun using it, advertising it, even there if you just want to but food...

Pubs look so nice and inviting, but I am trying to think of them as evil purveyors of doom!!! Only been going to them for 23 years, so that's a paradigm shift in thinking huh...
