Alcoholic

Hi Everyone,
I hate that I'm checking in here. I'm a disgusting alcoholic and have been drinking since I was about 16 years old. I don't like myself right now and so will quit talking and read around. Thanks for listening.

Hello Gina--and welcome in SR! I can relate to how you are feeling. When I was drinking I felt disgusted with myself as well. Keep posting. Almost everyone here has been, or still is, where you are.

Hugs--

Hi Gina and welcome! You'll find a great deal of support here, and hopefully a solution. Scroll around and visit the various forums, post wherever you like and you'll see it can be done. Your an alcoholic, and nothing more. No self bashing allowed okay? I know how you feel, we've all been there! Start today, and go it one day at a time, and begin to love yourself for who you are and realize, you just a little sick, and worthy to be a part of life. We look forward to seeing you often!

Gina, we are all the same. We are all alcoholics and ashamed of it. But you can beat it.

Welcome

It's alright Gina. I'm a disgusting alcoholic too, that's why I quit drinking. I couldn't stand doing that to myself any longer. You can take back control of your life, by not drinking. You can do it. Just take the initiative and follow through, then reap the benefits. I'm glad you found this site and I wish you the best of luck. Never give up the fight. You deserve a better life.

Gina,
Being sober is wonderful. Stick around here and hopefully you will find things that touch you in a profound way. One day at a time you can achieve sobriety too.

Us AA peeps are pretty darn cool... and sober! Tough noogies to them! Your what matters and how you feel and what you want to do to fix it. I'm a grateful alcoholic, someday you'll understand that too!

Ohhhhh. My head's killing me and my body's revolting. :headache: I hate myself for drinking. I have to quit drinking. I have to quit drinking. I have to quit drinking. I have to quit drinking. I have to quit drinking.
Today is DAY 1 for me. I'm nauseated to think about quitting.

Hello Gina--Try not to think of it as quitting forever. That is just too overwhelming. Just don't drink today. If you have to, take it one hour at a time, or even one minute at a time. You can stay sober today. We are here for you.

Hugs--
