Please help I'm drinking now and i'm a mess. I've been lurking and posting on here for the past 6 months. I've lost everything...fiance, job. Imagining what it would be like to live in a cardboard box now |
You all must be wondering how much I drink. A 5th of vodka, two 6 packs and and maybe a couple bottles of wine every week |
Hi hawk. You're not alone. You came to a good place :) Have you seen a doctor? Maybe go to the hospital? |
I'm sorry to hear you're in a bad way Hawk. I think a Dr or a hospital would be a good first step...I can;t remember what your position is on AA but I figure if things are that bad, anything that might give you support couldn't hurt? D |
Hawk, we all have been in that rotten situation. Get yourself to a detox center as soon as you possibly can. At some point you have to throw up the white flag. |
It's good you are posting--we understand what it's like. What are your plans for stopping? It sounds like going in for detox would be a good idea. You can beat this. Just start with today. |
I just woke up and it's still today... The last time I went to my Dr was 3 months ago. I was slapped with a $500 bill that my insurance wouldn't cover and a permanent record of alcoholism. Good luck to me on getting another job. |
I'm a complete mess. I've hit the pits. |
You have made the effort to reach out for help here and that's a great start. Now try and reach out for some medical help. Thinking of you. |
Hi, i am Pat and am sorry for what you are going trough. If you are drinking please try to remember the booze is killing your ability to think straight. Give yourself a chance and put the bottle down. Easy? Hell no, worth it hell yes! See this like a battle, either you or IT makes it. I pick YOU to win |

Patman nailed it on the head. It truly is a battle. One that you must win! You will get wounded, but you can win, Many have. |
I can't walk to the ER and driving would land me in a jail cell at best. I'm terrified. |
Is there someone you can call? |
Hi Hawk, I am also very sad to hear this. Your pain is coming through loud and clear and it hurts! I believe in the old saying that " sometimes we have to hit rock bottom and lose important things in life to give us a "reality check" about just how dire our situation is. Some may think that's a bad thing but I tend to disagree. No it's not good losing a loved one or a job but you know what? You are still alive and breathing. A great quote from a book I'm reading is " here is a test to find whether your mission on earth is finished: if you are alive it isn't" (Richard Bach). The book is called " When God winks at you" by Squire Rushnell. It's worth reading. I will pray for you and for you to overcome this battle. I am having my own battle with alcohol and it sure isn't easy. Stay strong and have faith that you can overcome it......I'm gonna try to do the same:) |

If you can't walk there or get a cab, call 911 Hawk. The only way to break this cycle is get some help. D |
Yes you should call 911 or call a friend or relative. |
