I have drank in the house alone for most days for 3 years. I got to that because 7 years of meds was not helping. I self medicated. My sister died last week and I have found out she planned it. I had a drink after funeral with her partner. I live alone 400 miles away and since got home am back drinking each day alone in house

Do you think you have a problem? Does it change WHO you are when you drink? Do you want to stop?
If you want to stop drinking, call your local AA number. Someone WILL get help for you. AA saved my life, and the lives of MILLIONS of other people for the last 75 years or so. Don't be afraid to call. You are not alone. Please let us know what happens. And keep talking to us. If you want to stop drinking, pour out the drink and call AA. God bless and please take care --- and keep talking to us. Hugs, Lee

Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and, if you want to, define what you want from your life and figure out how to get it. There is help all around us, if we want it... all we need to do is ask.

Now its time to stop the drinking.....That one drink after the funeral was all you needed. Yes it was a good excuse..maybe if you want to call giving up your sobriety, but now no....Call AA, find a meeting now! We are also here to help...anyway you know what to do, and I know you will do it!

jt, i believe you know you have a problem with alcohol. when i was a drunk i self-medicated too. it caused me to dig my own hole deeper and deeper. it took away all emotions. it numbed me and took away my dignity. i hated myself for the mess i got into but saw no way out. this caused my depression to get worse and worse. alcohol is a depressant. there's no need to torture yourself anymore. there is a solution. abstinence. this takes a willingess to stop. AA helped me immensely. there were others there with ths same pain.. there are also people with success staying away from alcohol. their support will give you HOPE. you deserve a LIFE alcohol free. it will destroy you if you continue to drink. so glad you posted. we're here to support you if you desire to get sober. getting sober was the greatest gift i ever gave myself. my life sober is beyond my wildest dreams. give yourself that gift too. you'll never ever regret it.
