Face down in the middle of the street the other night. Cops had their guns drawn. I think "rock bottom" is apropos.......

In my experience, this kind of thing is a really good indication that it's time to seriously embrace sobriety.



Welcome back.

it sounds like you've got a serious and scary situation on your hands. remember that any more drinking / addiction is only going to make it scarier and seriouser.... and no matter how terrible it feels right now, it can be improved. It's going to take time and action and effort and emotion.... but it can be improved.

hang in there. we're here for you.

Hi BoutDamnTime - I think it will help to talk things over here. I'm sorry for the situation you're in - but as the others said, drinking isn't an answer - it just causes even more anxiety. You need a clear head to deal with what's going on. I hope you'll keep posting.

That sounds like a serious situation the other night? How are you coping with it besides coming on this site?

The courts here offer treatment in lieu of conviction. My lawyer is working on it.

Be proactive and start doing everything you can for you recovery. The Court will appreciate that. You have to show them, you can't just say it. The have heard it all.

Good luck. Things will get better if you stay quit.
