I drank I drank again. I wanted to tell on myself, I'm already contemplating buying more. This must stop. |

I don't know what you're going through, bluedog, but is drinking going to make it any better? It's best to stop right now. Go for a walk or something to take your mind off drinking. |
I hope you don't get any more. Drinking only makes things worse. :( |
Welcome to the forum, you will find the support you need here to help you, be aware of your addictive voice as that is what gets us, go buy more, play the tape through, if you do where will it lead. The most important question in my mind was I will go to any length to get my booze, will I go to any length to save my life, the answer was simple the work very difficult at first but it gets easier. Keep reading the posts here, you are among people who understand and can help and support you as we want to see you beat this and you can, remember you are in control. |
I drank again. I wanted to tell on myself, I'm already contemplating buying more. This must stop. Don't buy more booze, log back in, stick around, and let the community talk you out of a really bad idea :) D |
Don't do it bluedog. Just give up the idea and log back on here, take a walk, cook some food, take a shower. A lapse gets to be a multi-day binge way too easy. . . |
As long as I had poison in my system affecting the way I think, the way I act, then there won't be anything or anyone to convince me otherwise I have a drinking problem or need help because nothing will penetrate thru my thick, sick skull. Thank goodness my family intervened on me 25 yrs ago sending me into the hands and care of those capable of helping me get better. It took several calls for them to find out who could take care of me because I wasn't willing to go on my own, so a police car was ordered to pick me up and take me to a physciatric hospital to determine my mental state of mind. Come to find out after I passed all their test, I only had a drinking problem. That I couldn't control my drinking. That I had an addiction problem. Wow, is that all I said gleefully to myself. Whew..!!!! And I thought it was gonna be worst. Man, I can handle that. Easy easy, so I thought. I spent 2 weeks instay rehab when they were to let me go because of insurance. Then they thru me a curve ball telling my family that if I went home at that time, I would surely drink again and wanted to send me off to a halfway house further away from my family for a long time. I begged that they not do that and If I could complete a 28 day program right were I was and do whatever I needed to do to not be sent away. They agreed and I remained, allowing more information about my addiction to be taught to me and learning a recovery program to take home with me to incorporate in my everyday life. They did tac on a 6 week aftercare program after I was released and yes I completed that too. I went back to my little family, to my daily life, but it was up to me to take what was taught to me and either throw it away or use it to my advantage. And I did and I still do use what was taught to me to my own advantage some many one days at a time sober for 25 yrs now. Today I hold my recovery and sobriety close to my heart. My sobriety is a gift, a treatable program of recovery that was taught to me and use in my daily life in all my affairs to achieve health, happiness and honesty. I wasn't willing in the beginning to let go of my addiction because I didn't know how. I tried soooo many times to control it and failed soooo many times. It wasn't until I entered recovery and was handed a program of recovery that I became openminded, willing to do whatever I needed to do for myself, to go to whatever lengths I needed to go to remain sober and learned how to live an honest life without killing myself with my addiction to poison. I want my sobriety. I want my life. I want the gifts that come with living a recovery life. I am willing to continue to do whatever I need to do today to remain sober. I refuse to let or allow anyone pr anything to mess with it or tell me otherwise that life is great with alcohol because it isn't. It, alcohol, wasnt working 25 yrs ago for me and it still wont 25 yrs later. I wanted my sobriety. I have my sobriety. I live for my sobriety. I am blessed with my sobriety. You can too. :) |
You can draw a line under alcohol once and for all, SR is in your corner!! :) |
