I wish there was someone here right now to talk to. I'm having a rough time.

Chal, I probably wasn't much help tonight but know that I believe in you. You can do this. I know it's hard but it gets much better.
My thoughts are with you tonight. Cyran0

Cy, thank you for last night. Depressme, its okay and thank you too.
Yesterday wasnt a good day for me all around. The more the day progressed the harder it got for me to not drink. Somehow i did get through. I had some of those awful dreams last night and woke up to a strong desire to drink and forget about it all. I did make it to the t appt today. That did not go well for me mentally. I walked out angrier than i have been i think in the past few weeks. I got in my truck and it was dead. I got in touch with someone to give me a jump, but had to wait an hour. I leaned my head back and looked into the side mirror. Right there in perfect view, the Daiquiri Shack. I grabbed my phone and fumbled with it trying to call someone. I talked with someone about what was going on. They tried to help me see straight and i thank them for being there for me. I broke anyway. I walked across the street and got something to drink. And just like the person i spoke to said, im now regretting that dum move. I dont know if i'm going to get where alot of you guys are. At this moment it really seems impossible. I want to stop. I get the gut feeling of want in me. Then when it gets to where i cant stand the jittery feeling, upset and crampy stomach and the sweating, where i cant cool down for nothing, i break. I dont know no more. How do i get past this?

Many people aren't able to get through the detoxing without medical treatment. I know many of our members here had to actually go through detox in a medical environment. I hate it say it, but that might be your next step?

I didn't mean to make you cry....I'm just so concerned about the bad side effects you're having when you try to stop. There's ways to get through it without being so miserable. I wish I knew an easy fix for it.......I'm just trying to find solutions. I didn't mean to make you more upset.

Chal, I've heard of people getting sober a million different ways but in MANY of the stories there's stumbles, falls, and stumbles again. You were in bad shape last night. I knew it. So did you. But you didn't drink. You made it through. Give yourself some credit for that. Learn from it. What would have made it easier? What would have pulled you through? Who can you lean on for support? If you think of solutions, use them next time.
And definitely forgive yourself for falling off the wagon today. I've done it and it's a horrible feeling. But there's all sorts of people here (and in the real world, I'm sure) that are waiting to help you back on. You can do it. Cyran0

chalm, I had to go through detox because of the withdrawal...it really helps when you have meds to help deal with it. I know how much you want to get sober and how much you are struggling...maybe you should check into detox--you don't have to commit to doing it--just see what your options are...
We are here for you...
