Well it's up to you! You are the only one that can make the decision. Who cares about all the people in your house! Your damn life is more important don't you think? Sorry , but in the scheme of life and you killing yourself with alcohol I think you should choose life. I don't even know you and I care about what happens to you!

I am in Australia so I guess things are a bit different. But is there a help line you could talk to and ask for advice.

It's now hopeless, Hawk07. The AV tries to make you feel that way but it's not so. If you can't get to the ER call a help line. Ride it out if you must, get some sleep. Look at things in the clear light of day, sober, and figure out what to do. I was in a terrible state when I found SR but things have really improved for me. It can be the same for you.

I'll stay online with you if your afraid to call and not get off until you are safe and at the hospital. If that's what you want to do. I see several others online with you as well and I'm sure they will stay on with you also. If you decide not to that's your choice but just know you are not alone.

Hello Hawk, I just wanted to tell you that I hope you are ok today and the great thing about waking up to a new day is that it gives us a clean slate and the promise of a new beginning. God bless you

Hawk, can you call a cab or family member now and get to the hospital for some help? Just do the next right thing to get yourself on the track back to health and sobriety. I will be thinking about you today!

Hawk, don't play with this please. You are facing detox and withdrawal.

This is serious business. My father died when I was 6, so yes if your father is alive call him for help. Stop trying to fix this alone and take every support opportunity. He might be 70 but sure can teach you a few tricks.

Call 911 and get to the hospital. They can help you detox safely. You've got to put the bottle down.

I hear you. It is bad. Your body is coming down from the alcohol. It's probably going to get worse before it gets better but you now are at least becoming sober. I see that as a lifeline to clearly make a choice for today. The choices of riding through this on your own, going to get medical help, or starting the cycle again. It's up to you my friend. I pray that you will get help.

Patman, hello. I was just saying the same thing about hawks dad. You need to call him. I don't know the relationship you have but he is your father and you might be surprised how he could help you . Please call him Hawk.
