Hi Mr G

you asked what's wrong with you - here's my take:

you're an alcoholic who's getting in deeper and deeper and losing more and more control because you haven't yet accepted the reality -

drinking will always bring you to this lonely desolate, life-destroying place.

I'm not sure whats stopping you from embracing recovery wholly - fear, stubborness, embarrassment, pride - but I think it's time to admit defeat, Mr G?

This is a relationship you need to walk away from, now - no matter what it costs in life changes for you.

If you don't, things will get worse - trust me.

MrG - That sort of thing had to happen to me before I got it. I was a slow learner, but once I convinced myself I could never be a social drinker I was able to get free. You sound more determined than ever - you learned something valuable.

Good for you for deciding to stop now, at your first blackout, before things get worse...

Thanks all, well it's day 2 today and I feel pretty bad. Anxiety and low mood is through the roof. But it's a start. Not a wink of sleep so I'm not much fun at all today I'm afraid! I have a pain in my left side that is worrying too.

How about calling your doctor today and getting started with more help? You don't have to feel this way again.

Congrats on day 2 but see a doc. Abrupt cessation from daily drinking can kill. Maybe get your BP checked at a public machine?

Good job on Day 2, MrG.

Can you see your doctor to help you with the withdrawals?

Rooting for you, MrG.

Go see a Dr Mr G - if nothing else it'll put your mind to rest, then you can start to focus on how to stay sober.
