Even if you are drinking someday147, stay on here and keep posting and reading. Something might click with you. It eventually does with so many. We do care too. And we understand. Your original post has passed all of our lips or been in all of our thoughts before.

Your thread title says it all. Now is the time to get help and end the madness. What form that help takes is up to you. It might mean a hospital or rehab--for myself, I needed a few days at a (no-cost) detox. Help is available at AA meetings (mostly on-line now), and there are some for whom all the help they need is right here at SoberRecovery. Keep reading and posting!

Read everything you can get your hands on about quitting. Start with This Naked Mind. The more you understand about addiction the more you will be able to fight it. Try to read instead of drinking. When you want to drink, remember people like us NEVER have one or two drinks! Just keep telling yourself you are “putting off” that first drink of the day. Soon, instead of craving that first drink every day, you will start craving the feeling of waking up sober. Hope this helps.

you could even look for help beyond us - most recovery methods have online meetings these days - not only AA but things like SMART or lifering too?
you could ask for help from your doctor or a counsellor too?

Someday, I can't recommend getting into a 12 Step Program enough if you are not in one. I'd like to share with you what really helped me let go of my addiction. Maybe you can apply these ideas I am about to tell you in your life. The 2 things that enabled me to drop my addiction: 1. turning my life over to my Higher Power 2. Becoming more loving and helpful towards people.
Everyday I reaffirm that I am giving my life over to God, that I want him to come into my life, that I want to have a relationship with Him.
Becoming more loving started by posting positive messages on post it notes and leaving them in bathrooms and other public places. And then everyday I think of what I can to help someone that day or make their life easier. It has produced amazing results for me.

Thank you so much everyone. I stopped then the withdrawals where so scary I didn't know what to do, so unfortunately I can't see a way out. I rang a rehab place but there's no free one's and I don't have money. I am ready and willing to stop so going to find a way. Do or die for me it seems.
