I don't know.

FrankLapidas

Someone talk me through this.

site1Q84

Well if nothing is different than you know you can get through this, because you already have for the last 5 days!


I poured out all my booze and that made a big difference for me. Just having it around I knew I was going to drink it at some point, and now that I've been honest with myself and gotten rid of it all I'm having way less cravings. Everyone is different, but just a thought.

You're stronger than you think!

Can you go into the chat? That might be helpful, I see there's a few people in there right now.

Is the rum right there next to you, or would you have to go get it somewhere? If it is there, could you consider pitching it?

FrankLapidas

Not so sure about that. But thank you for talking to me.

You don't have to thank me, that's what we're all here for.

I've been right where you've been and sometimes it's just good to have someone to talk to that gets what you're dealing with.

If there's booze in the house, it must be dumped immediately. No ands, ifs or buts.

You're going to get through this, Frank, and come out stronger.

In my hardest moments, I hopped in the shower. It helped.

Have you had any success getting into chat?

FrankLapidas

Chrome OS doesn't allow me into chat. Wish it did.

[QUOTE=FrankLapidas;5353969] I understand, I was just wondering if it was there with you, and it would be easy to pick up. Then throw out.

Have you got another browser Frank? one that supports Java?

Don't forget the HALT thing too - Hungry Angry Lonely Tired

I've found that during my worst cravings I was at least one of these, if not more, but I've spent so long drinking I didn't even know how to recognize that I was hungry, not needing a drink.

site1Q84

Ahh, Chrome OS. I love it for a lot of reasons but hate that it doesn't do Java.

Can you get into the chat from your mobile device instead of your laptop?

FrankLapidas

I never seem to make it. Sorry. And don't even try to tell me to pour out the rest of my rum. If you suggest that then you don't know much about alcoholics.

Venecia

Well, my friend, I know a thing or two about alcoholics since I used to be one.

So I'll tell you to pour it out anyway. Send it right down the drain.

C'mon, Frank, you can do it. Hugs.

site1Q84

Not only can you do it, but I bet the feeling you get from it will help you tons. Even better than just tossing it out, it really gave me a sense of "I can do this and I'm stronger then you"

It's up to you to make the choice, but we're all here for you

FrankLapidas

Venicia, I am just so tired, so very tired. Tired of being drunk, tired of being sober. Tired of everything. Everything.

I read a post on here by someone else, wish I could remember who so I could give them credit:

You don't have to drink if you don't want to. You don't have to drink if you DO want to.

I'm in this with you, friend. I believe in you.

FrankLapidas

You are believing in the wrong person.
