So sorry you're in the depths of despair. It won't always feel like this. Call a doctor if you're getting worried about your health.
You could call the AA hotline and talk to someone if you want. Or keep posting here.
You can get through this. Just be kind to yourself right now.
Sending you positive thoughts.

Noones going to take your son away if you talk to a Dr a counselor or a helpline TB - I promise.
If you can't get out of bed I think thats time to ask for help?
you have a lot of friends here and we care for you - I really hope you'll reach out for some kind of help.

Please realise it's the alcohol which is creating this despair you feel. I know exactly how you feel, in a hole you can't get out of, the only thing you reach for is more wine, but its this very wine which is making you ill. You have to be break the cycle, as bad as you feel, it will pass, as long as you don't pick up a drink. The longer you binge, the worse it will get.
If you are really struggling, go to A&E, just do whatever it takes not to drink.

I'm glad you're hanging in there. I have five days today. What's been helping me is posting on here and getting support, going to meeting so I can be around other people and not drinking of course. It all feels so impossible but if you think about it everything is easier than what you're doing now.

Tinker, I was at my worst just a few days ago, couldn't stop, felt like I was in a black hole of dread and fear, and worse, alone in that feeling. I found this site and I feel like I am part of something, that I am NOT alone.
The fact that you logged on and reached out speaks volumes about what you, deep inside, want to do. So do it. Take the chance and fight as hard for your wellness as you are for your limitations.
We are here for you.

Don't worry about your job at the moment, you have to focus on you and your sobriety.
Just a thought, but perhaps you can speak to your boss directly tomorrow and explain what you have been going through? I have heard of companies helping their employees get help with substance abuse.
Or as suggested before, going straight to your doctor and getting help and a letter to your job?
The point right now is to look through all of the pain and know that you can get better, you can do this, it is the hard thing to do, but you are a fighter.

Thats the thing tho - you have to face it sometime TB.
Numbing yourself just translates into more drinking, and it'll get harder to face things sober the more you drink.
No ones saying you have to solve all your problems today - but I do think you need to try and make it an alcohol free day, as long as you reckon it's medically safe for you to do so of course....

Hi again Tinker, I know you are frightened of reaching out to Mental Health but it is a irrational fear, they will not take your son away. They are there to help not make things worse.
If nothing else get a sick note from your GP for work today. Even that one thing will relieve some of the anxiety, make you feel a little better and help you think more clearly.
Nothing like taking the control back.
