Had to give up

I had no choice in giving up it just had to happen. I am on day 5. What happened was I have been drinking large amount of whiskey before work. But last Tuesday I kind lost my mind. I phoned my work and said I cant do this anymore and said I am leaving. I was in such a mess, I then phoned my psychiatrist saying what I did and she told me to get a sick line and she will prescribe some diazepam to help me through it. So as I said above I'm day 5 and im trying to sort my head out from the misuse of drink and my medication and my bpd. My boss who is really mind has said he will keep the door open for me if I want to come back.so I am going to take some to get off the drink and get my head together and hope to get back to work. My family is really trying to support me which they are keeping an eye on me I case I become really low and do something I might regret. Any way I will try my best to post in how I am doing and join the month club for how many days I'm sober. Thanks for listening xx

I'm sorry you hit a rough patch, Erratic. I hope that the meds will help you get off of the booze.

I am sorry things have been so difficult for you, Erratic; hope you can get things straightened out and return to work; sounds like your boss is an understanding kind of guy; congratulations on Day 5.

Remember there is always someone at SR - 24/7, 365.

Rooting for you.

I'm glad you came here and posted.

I'm sure this must be a very hard time for you but I think you are doing the right thing by taking care of your alcoholism.

Maybe look into 'urge surfing'. There are some threads about it here, it helps a lot of folks.
