Really need help
It’s been a while since I’ve been on this site. I managed 3 months of sobeiety through the support of people on here. I’m drinking again and I’m in a really bad place right now...even logging onto this site was a major headache for me( forgot password etc..)but I knew I needed to get on here to try and get support. Ive recently come out of a short term relationship which I know wasn’t right for me but I feel so rejected, rubbish and insignificant. Ive turned to drink to numb the pain and make me feel , well, less hollow and desperately alone.
I had a really bad day at work today, came home( at 1 pm) poured myself a wine and drank a few glasses. I feel drunk and disgusted with myself. Being alone and without a drink feels unbearable. Like the worst pain ever. I can’t clean, excercise cook healthy meals. I’m managing to get to work and do enough to ‘pretend’ I’m ok.
Really need help, advice to turn this around

Daytime in the US is a relatively slow time, Georgie. There will be many more people along in a couple of hours. So please don't feel like you're dying on the vine, so to speak.
For now keep yourself well hydrated. I'm sorry that you're feeling so low.
You need never feel this bad again. Each moment you refrain from drinking you will move a bit further and further away from this feeling of the pit. Stay the course.
Stay on here. Read every thread if you have to! Occupy the minutes till you can go to sleep.

Georgie. It’s going to be ok. We all care about you and really are hoping you can turn this around, it all starts with not picking up the drink. It’s hard but you are not alone. I hope you continue to post, this site really helps.

Dee's link is great, you can get started again today. Think about joining the November of 2018 class, you will be surrounded by others who have also committed or recommitted to sobriety this month.
I find going for walks outdoors really helps ground me, I try to do this everyday, even if it's a short walk. Take a look at some mindfulness videos, they are helpful as well.
