There are a lot of people who care. We really care. We wish we could do more for you.
But there's only so much we can do and right now, what I can do is hope you make it through the night. You're really not in any shape to talk (type) and things have gone beyond the point where talking/typing is what is needed. A call to 911 is what's needed.
I hope you're OK in the morning. I really do.

Hi WV,
Are you still with us? I know how you feel. I didn't tell anyone about my addiction, except my husband. I know how you feel - being an addict was embarrassing to me, too.
I have also tried what you seem to be doing now. I think you will find that many of us can relate to that, as well.
Do you still want to talk? We will stay with you.

I am just going to offer this possibility for you:
You go to the hospital
You live
You won't get arrested and you will have confidentiality as a patient
You come back to this site
You chat with us
You have new friends who care
You get better
It can work out that way, too.

I really hope you are okay. Been watching this thread. I'm f'ed out of my head right now too. Drank too much, took too much, about to do too much of other things. But, the difference is, you reached out for help. Whether you see it that way or not that is what you did. You don't want to die. We don't want you to die. I have been where you are and I can tell you that wanting to stay awake because you know without a shadow of a doubt that you will die if your eyes closed is not enough to keep you alive. I have found this out the hard way more times than I care to admit. Please, please. Even if you don't care whether you live or die call someone. Anyone. You deserve a shot. Come on. You've got nothing to lose.

Wildernessvoice, copper are you two ok? Its the alcohol it lies, it tells you evil things ignore it..... Wildernessvoice, you're ok, you're not going to die. Most likely its alcohol induced anxiety or drug induced anxiety or both. You're going to be ok, I promise you that it will pass. If you need help or are having real symptoms call 911 and get help.
Listen you're going to survive tonight, and if you need to talk all night I will be up for many more hours myself. You're worth it, and I know its scary and you feel awful but you will get through this.....
Copper you too you stay safe, and get some sleep and be kind to yourself. Get some fluids in yourself, and sleep it off it...

Copper and WV, I'm up for a while, too. I can stay up.
If I had a better memory, I would remember all the times I got depressed, nearly suicidal and angry when I have been drinking. TDG is right. Alcohol lies. I started sobriety 40 days ago and had a one-day slip 12 days ago. I felt like s&*t for a couple of days. I broke a toilet when I fell and I thought that addiction was going to be the death of me - that there was no reason for me to even try to get sober. A few days after, I somehow refused to be defeated by addiction.
I wish I had gone online here when I drank like you both did. I didn't have the guts or the wherewithal at the time to talk to the right people.The fact that you came to SR means a lot. I think it means you want to get better and you believe in yourself enough to try again.
WV, please give us an update as soon as you can.
Copper, I really know how you feel. When I drink, alcohol is irresistible - like I need it to survive. Can you stop drinking anymore tonight and stay up with us, too?
