Need encouragement

I am new to all of these forums. I am not new to alcoholism. I have tried many times to quit. The last time I was in Emergency for withdrawl a doctor set me up with a program and a prescription to stop the cravings. It remains to see how it works.I also just need someone to talk to. My friends and family are getting tired of me doing the same thing all of the time.

I remember how very alone I felt before I joined this community....but you will find support, understanding, friendship and help here. ❤️




PS...I had a dog that I called Panda. A black and white border collie.

Welcome H&P!
My family never understood, either.
Being in communication with people who understand was very helpful to me.
I hope it is for you, too!
Best of Luck on Your Journey!

Glad you're here. This place helped save my life. Some of the world's finest people grace these forums.

Post often. When you feel sad or happy, alone or content. We always want to know how you're doing and if we can help.

Welcome to SR HeroAndPanda. I didn't quite get the timing of what you are currently enduring. Do you have detox meds on hand prescribed by a Doc that you have not yet taken? Or is that part of the process behind you? Whatever the case, I'm glad you came to SR. You are one of us and only we can understand each other.
