Is there anyone you can call or be with IRL to help you get through this right now? I pray so.

I'm sorry you're in so much pain.

((((((((((((((((Mandy))))))))))))))))) Focus on that beautiful prayer your daughter said for you. Drinking that will only make you hurt worse. Please be kind to yourself. Call someone, please. Anyone, just call someone to help get you through this safely.

k, can you pour out the booze? i know right now that it is like a magnet but if you can pour it out...will it be all gone in house? sorry don't know who "him" is but that's soo-o unkind if he'd say that!!
so proud of you for not drinking yet. you can do it! all it -the booze-will do is make you feel worse and you'll be harder on yourself. you deserve better than to do this to yourself. you were brave enough to post to us...so let us support what i really know you want to do...not drink it. i'm so sorry you are feeling so low...

I know how hard it is when you want to drink and just get oblivion. But it won't make anything better. Odds are you'll only feel worse afterwards. You can make it through the urge, you're stronger than it.

Don't know what time it is where you're at, but can you get out of the house, go for a walk, but don't take any money with you so you can't go to a bar. Sometimes when I was needing a drink real bad doing somehting physical helped.

Or do you have a support line or friend you can call. Again, I don't know what time it is where you're at but try calling AA. Most area's have a number you can call, and there'll be someone to talk to about wanting to drink. I've done that a couple of times, especially in early sobriety.

Just don't take that first drink.

Hi silent...and good for you on making it through the night...I know how hard it is...

I remember one night during my last few months of drinking..I shook so bad,,was so frightened of every thought..of not being able to find the drink,,and to drink it...

I took a necktie and made a loop in it,,so that I could loop the tie around my neck and put my hand in the loop. I could take the bottle in my hand and put it in the loop and pull the bottle to my lips with my other hand...no spill...

I was insane...and no amount of willpower in the world could change that..

You don't have to do this alone...You can choose help...

Lenny

Hi Lenny
thank you for that , it just seems such ahard decision to make and feel if l go to AA that l have somehow failed even without letting that drink pass my lips. The urges are there the tempations are there, the logic keeps evading me at times so maybe l do need to choose to not do this alone........l think l will search the info that l need and go from there.......oh l just dont know just wanted it all too stop for a while...stupid l know replace one problem with another
thank you for your kind words
Mandyxx

well you got through it, good job. pat yourself on the back. keep talking to your friends keep posting. a meeting cant hurt why not give it a try? i really think you should have a friend dump that bottle for you.
Thanks for this!
