Chalm,
only you can really answer that question- maybe on your own or maybe with the help from other professionals. From some of your other posts it sounds like you have a problem with alcohol. That doesn't make you weird or bad it means that you have a problem which has a solution. It's not an easy solution but there is a solution - not drinking. For some people it's relatively easy to stop and for others they need lots of support and treatment. If you think you have other mental health issues as well, which is entirely possible, I'd urge you to see and discuss things with your Dr. Therapy and or meds can be hugely helpful to some people. Just remember you're not alone.. --splitimage

I dont remember posting this last night. Pretty sad, eh. I got a problem, I know. I just wish i could drink one and let it be. But i cant, me and my sorry *** is gonna go all the way. Drink everything thats there.
My t knows about the drinking issue, at least for the most part. And she talks to me about it. She gave me a flyer about the AA meeting they have on wednesday down here. But I cant get myself to go to the meeting. I got it in my head that I can quit on my own. Thats what i'm trying to do. I promised my t that i wouldnt touch any hard liqour and i'm doin good with that. I hear ya'll from where ya coming from. I guess i just dont want to admit how bad I am with it. I'm scared to admit it. This is who ive been for as long as i can remember. And ive had so much change in my life the past few years, I dont want nothing else to change. But holding on to this just aint right. Thank you split and rayna for responding

It sounds to me like you're approaching your first step, admitting to yourself wholeheartedly that you have a problem.
I understand trying to do it alone....but how long have you been trying to do this by yourself?

Change is scary - even positive change. I thought I could do it on my own and couldn't, hell even with lots of treatment and support, it took me several tries to finally stop. But you sound like your in a place where you mostly want to stop but are afraid to and are therefore somewhat stuck. Bad place to be in. AA has helped both Rayna and me, but it's not the only path to recovery. You might want to check out smartrecovery.org (I'm 95% sure that's the right name) it's more like cognitive behavioural theory approach to stopping drinking and some of their worksheets really helped me.
I'm still terrified sometimes of being sober - because it means I have to face my feelings and deal with my emotions rather than just drinking myself into oblivion. But I got to the point where drinking was just costing me too much for it to be a viable alternative anymore. I hope you can get to that point without losing as much as I had to lose before seeing the light. I'm glad that you have a T. It's good to have someone IRL that you can talk to. Take care of yourself. --splitimage

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
