Change, I remember you from a year or two ago, it's tough to see you struggling, I'd chalk it up to a refresher course in bad judgement and get back on the wagon, ur smarter now for it. it's not the end of the world.

Hi Change, it is great you are posting...being scared can be a good thing, I was scared as well...can you use that fear to propel you forward and get some help from the doctor or ER to get you through the the first few days safely?...

I need to let everyone know that I am an alcoholic. That way, they won't give me a glass of wine and say, "Here, this will make you feel better."
I had a bottle before they gave me that glass.

I think there comes a point that you have to say I will do whatever it takes to get out of this and never look back. I really hope you're at that point C4G.
Leave no stone unturned. Do whatever it takes

Hey there. You sound like you are in a lot of pain. I know what that feels like and it's truly hell. You are not alone. We have all been there and millions of people in the world have been exactly where you are and are now sober and happy.
Do you have a plan to help you out of the rabbit hole? You can do this!

Glad you made it back in here, Change4good, but sorry you're hurting so much. We've all been there.
Dee's advice is spot on. Make a serious commitment to your recovery. Do whatever it takes to not feel this way again.

I used to get morose on the anniversaries of the deaths of my family members, too. It fueled a lot of my drinking. Well, more precisely - my loneliness and sadness fueled it. The anniversaries were just excuses to take it up a notch.
When I got sober, I was going to AA meetings. That Serenity Prayer was playing on a constant loop in my head. It works for everything. I realized I could not do one thing about the deaths. My family members would not want me to drink myself to death over their deaths. It was just their time.
I don't have to stay sad for the rest of my life. Alcohol just feeds that self-pity party and without it I'm able to keep life in perspective.
I hope you find your way out.
