To answer the question: no, I'm not sober.
My life fell apart because od beer. My body is protesting. Unexpectrd bouts of diarrhea. Friends, gone. Family, not knowiing it, I hide it well. But my finances are ficked up.
All I do is drink, I'm a zombie and can;t be normal. I'm sirroounded with cans of beer right now, got a lot to drink.
My drinkging came from a traume btw.

I would suggest the same thing, drink some water and try to go to bed. Sitting up and drinking all night is just going to get the anxiety to kick in bad in the morning. Easy to say for someone sitting on the sidelines I know, maybe tomorrow can be a fresh start for you.

I hope you can get some rest and start a new sober life tomorrow. It takes some effort to get sober but it's worth it. Drinking only makes things worse.

Yes there is hope!!!
The insane thing for many of us is using alcohol to try and forget,relieve, smother traumas we had suffered in the past. I had some things happen to me that I tried to use alcohol to do all 3. Drink to blackout, yet I highly doubt in a blackout the memories weren't there any more, I just don't remember.
The greatest thing I did was face em sober. Those traumas have left a mark on me, but I learned a lot about myself by facing them sober.
You can do it too and you are worth it!!!!!!
Instead of worrying iffen ya remember yer password tomorrow, how bout not logging out??
