Not doing so good

hello. I have spent the last 5 days drinking in a hotel alone. And I’m terrified. I want to go check myself into a hospital. I hate doing this to myself.

Ugh. Sounds like that might be a good idea. Withdrawals can be dangerous. Ugh.

I think that's a really good plan. They will help you and you can be done with this misery.

Do what it takes to get checked in. You'll be safe and hopefully the feeling of being terrified will go away.

Please go to the hospital. I'm worried about you and hate thinking about you alone and terrified. This can be the last time you ever have to feel this way. You can start to recover. Today. Go to the hospital and keep posting here. Things can and will get better.

Sorry I left all of you hanging. I ended up going to the ER. They gave me Librium and sent me home with some. I had a small relapse right after that. But overall right now I am okay. I am still very anxious about the outside world because that’s what happens when you isolate yourself from the world and drink all day nonstop. I’m back to work and trying to get things back to normal.

I have done the hotel thing. I checked into a hotel 5 mins away from where my girlfriend lived so I could drink in seclusion. I lived in a different city at the time and my gf thought I was home. She thought I was cheating on her due to my avoidant behaviour. I suppose I was in a way, but I was cheating with booze. I ended up in rehab a few months later.
