My mother and father left me with my grandparents when I was a baby. My mother moved away and I didn't meet my father until I was 8.
Abandonment issues are hard to deal with. Maybe you could find a good therapist to help you work through that? I know you need help right now but please start somewhere.

I was welcomed with open arms when I walked in. I did look like I needed help. I was desperate and sick. And I'm getting well again. Sober 9 months. I couldn't stay sober more than 3 months at a time on my attempts before actually going to meetings. Good luck and please keep sharing...... 😃

Sometimes you just have to take it one day at a time. There are 24 your posts here...That main purpose is to keep you sober just 24 more hours....I like them. I have days I still struggle but I feel I've gotten through the worst...And going through that uncomfortable passing in the beginning is the best thing I've ever done. I can't explain to you in words how serious I am. I was in an outpatient rehabilitation during my sobering up. I needed it. I was afraid for people to know the extent of my abuse to myself. But once I shared the truth with another ( the drs ) knew how to help me and it helped. I didn't have to lie anymore, what a relief...It was better than the alternative for me. You are worth it no matter how far you have fallen.

Ohhh. Also the interactive word games on Sober Recovery are a good way to pass time and not drink. It got me through one minute at a time. Still does. Whenever I know I need help I have the tools. Even as silly as playing a word game. This community is amazing.

I'm with Dee - do you have a plan?
I know you post here, but that doesn't seem to be enough. Maybe your neighbor could offer some more face to face support? If you can't do a full rehab stint what about Intensive Outpatient? That could be a nice alternative.
Whatever you decide, I hope it works out and you continue to post and let us know how you're doing!
