Sweetie, you are lucky you don't have to get up and go to a job everyday. But maybe you should so you would have responsibility for yourself. And also...how can you forget how bad a hangover feels? You have them almost every week for years. Please STOP. Your body is dying inside and won't last much longer. Take your Super and go to rehab.

IMO, you've moved well beyond hangovers and now are in a protracted state of withdrawal. drinking again starts the withdrawal process all over again. the damage you are doing to yourself with this never ending withdrawal process will reach a point of no return.
you aren't forgetting anything, you just have not put in any effort to build a defense against the first drink. netflix is not a recovery tool. getting yourself to outpatient meetings as often as you can, AA meetings, and taking a serious ACTIVE approach to life long sobriety is the solution.

I am thinking of taking my super to use for rehab. Even if I start smoking again nothing else could be that much worse. I need to ring them tomorrow to find out if I am eligible. Why should my daughters get all the money

"Try, perhaps, I should, we should, I might, I could, maybe I will" - alcoholism 101.
Why are you "thinking" about using your super for rehab? Why aren't you just doing it. Not sure what that has to do with smoking or your Daughters - it's not their money it's yours.
At some point alcoholism distorts your thinking to a degree that you aren't really capable of making sound decisions.
Whether that is the man who used tire fixing air to try to out smart sober link (link to thread below) or the woman who refers to her children getting her super, rather than go to rehab.
You are fighting but it's time to pull out all the stops. Go to rehab, take your life back.
You are not a bad person, you don't need to feel guilty or terrible or any other negative thing, but you do need help, so do that.

sweeti - you claim to be on at least one waiting list for a rehab - i am pretty sure that as your condition continues to devolve that your medical team and/or the outpatient team could intervene and your behalf and get you moved up to an open bed.
talking about smoking or your children is just a diversion.
take action now. leave voicemails if it's night time. send emails if possible. do whatever you possibly can. show up to the outpatient facility first thing. beg for help.

I echo the getting a job or volunteer or something. Keeping busy whatever it is is very important to staying sober early on. Sitting around all day watching Netflix does not lead to getting better. Do exercise and set fitness goals or whatever it is to give you a reason not to drink and get up in the morning. Loafing around is one of the worst things you can do if you want to get sober.

Hey. Netflix and Amazon Prime are key components of my recovery! 
There's just so much good stuff on there.
But, yeah, you have to create new routines, even if it's just going for a walk or tidying up. Otherwise you are more at risk.
