Hope to hear from you soon, Stratman.

All drinking does is just press the pause button. Your reality will still be the same when you wake up tomorrow, with the added consequences of drinking.

Real recovery is about learning to deal with our problems and stresses in a healthy way. Many of us suffer from insomnia, anxiety, depression and PTSD.

Hope you can muster the courage to dump the booze. It's not to late to start again.

This is not fair.

I hope you toss it out, Stratman. Nothing good is going to come of this. You're right back at square one when you sober up.

Take care.

What isn't fair? I hope you dump the booze. Your problems will still be there tomorrow, only you'll feel even worse due to the alcohol. It gives us nothing, only takes our life away.

Dump it. Did someone post that you have six months? That was the breaking point for me as well as several others. Things start to level out and clear up. Don't give up before the miracle happens. It gets better.

Life ain't fair strat. Why stack the odds even more against yourself by getting drunk?

If you love life, don't waste time, for time is what life is made up of.

Strat.....What Scott said. I hope you dump any you've got left and don't turn this into a bender. It's totally still salvageable, especially if you quit now. Hugs strat.

Strat -

...jump back on.

You're just making your reality more difficult & clouded instead of working through issues.

I dunno. Some good points and angles here. I could have fell asleep after the first bottle but I didn't. Was thinking during it I should have got a third, now I know that to be true. I still have tomorrow to contend with. Sundays are the worst.

I used to enjoy them once, for a few weeks. But really they are the worst. I have 3 options: I can force myself to sleep all day, something I have done for years now, but ain't easy and definitely not right. Go for a walk lol. Or the same again.

How 'bout vetoing that as an option, Stratman? The only thing alcohol does reliably well is make everything worse.

I am sorry to hear that you're hurting. Take care of yourself and please make decisions that reflect such care.

ScottFromWI

There are plenty of other options besides those 3 strat. Why not have some water and hit the sack?

Spacegoat

But you make it sound so easy, Scott! Anyway thats what I am doing- getting the water in. I achieved exactly what I set out to do, I caught a break. And well deserved too.

Think I got the dosage right. Alcohol wasn't my first choice btw. Tomorrow is another story so see what happens. Ideally I will opt for option B but, any other idea's folks?

I've fought off the crazies by going for a hike. Like 10 miles.

Drinking cider in a public bog to try and deal with whats in your head probably aint a solution , y'know ,

Take care ,

Caught a break?

Got the dosage right?


Any other ideas???

Yeh, I have an idea. Cut the crap. You're playing with fire. Get yourself active on recovery. Get yourself a good therapist and some healthy ways of dealing with stress. Take steps to make real change and turn your life around before you find yourself deeper down the hole than ever.

chickippo

dosage? this is not medication - this is poison. this wasn't some social experiment you have been conducting - you drank because you wanted to get drunk.

at this point can you still not admit this to yourself? the truth can set you free, if you take the chance...
