Well I screwed up. I went to a 'social' event.....had 3 drinks and that started a bender. I'm booze sick and a bit scared. I'm going to try to taper but if that doesn't work I'll get medical help. Same story, same dance.

Just looking for support.....just need to talk.

I'm glad you're back and working on your recovery again. Tapering is really difficult, but you might want to check with your dr if you change your mind and stop cold turkey.

Coldfusion

Why not just go get help and avoid the agony of trying to taper? I found a no-cost detox program when I felt I couldn't safely quit cold-turkey.

Hi Frick, good to see you again. What you just posted is the story of my late 2013 - summer 2015. How many days/hours sober are you?

I'm sorry you drank again. I hope this time you will be successful at quitting for good.

Hi Frickaflip, I am glad you are back

Glad you're back. I'd say the same as coldfusion, why not just see the doctor and avoid the mental and physical discomfort of trying to taper?

Welcome back Frick!!

I'm really sorry to hear you're in a bad way Frick.

I recommend seeing a Dr now.

That hesitation and talk about maybe tapering is fear, fuelled by the AV.

You could stop this today.

Hi Frick,

Glad you are back, how are you feeling right now? Have you decided to see a doctor?

Dropsie

I know how it feels, but you can do this.

Go see a doctor if you can and get this sorted.

Don't let the AV convince you otherwise -- tell him to go to his corner.

You've come to another river to cross... There are those on the other side waiting to help you, reaching for your hand...

Good to see you, Frick. I'm so sorry for the misery you're feeling. Further proof that we can't touch it. I did the same thing a few times before finally understanding that I had no control & no amount of willpower could save me.

It sounds like you learned something valuable. Please keep posting & let us know how you're doing.

Great to hear from you Frick, although under less than ideal circumstances. Please follow your own advice, if you can't do it on your own, seek medical assistance. Rooting for you.

Glad you posted Frick...full support here.

Glad you are back. I totally get the misery you are feeling - been there many times. I hope you can start Day 1 real, real soon. Tapering will only prolong the misery.

Frick? You doing ok?

Hi guys
Well the taper isn't going so well. Imagine that. My poor dogs and kitty hate me. They are well fed and watered but no walks. Not to mention my amazing daughter, whom I've barely spoken a word to in several days.
I have called a detox facility and am waiting to hear back.

Thank you so much for the replies and words of encouragement. I'm so booze sick right now. I hate this. Why am I like this? Why do I do this? I'm calling my GP now. She might be able to help me get into the facility. I can't take too much more of this.

I hope you can get some help Frick

The important thing right now isn't 'why am I like this' but 'how do I stop?'
