I used to drink to ease the pain. I had a drink problem before. I'm not sure if I was an alcoholic or not , some say I was . Maybe I should do it again . Then I will be numb

This does not sound like a good idea to me. I just dont think it is going to work. I strongly suggest that you make wiser decisions. You know well that you can.
I am here if you need support. You can message me.

I agree, can you talk to a therapist? I do drink sometimes to numb the pain .. but I wouldn’t say I’m an alcoholic (not sure what the “criteria” are though...
 )

 Crying please take your Meds. I know you said you stopped taking them. Alcohol is just another drug. True, it will make you numb for a while. But it’s a depressant and will leave you worse off than you are now.

Coming for a long line of alcoholics and druggies (200 years’ worth) I can tell you that drinking to numb pain doesn’t work—after enough drink you emotional pain will blow up into despair and anger. Additionally, while Mr. Alcohol might have some transient benefits on numbing you---once Mr. Alcohol get’s you by the short hairs—he controls you! You don’t want that….

Thank you everyone . I don't think I'm going to do it . It's just what I was desperately thinking last night . Part of me wants to fight and get better . Part of me wants to curl up in a ball and give up . Thank you for being so supportive . I don't have a therapist but I need to force myself to take my meds . Something is stopping me from taking them and I'm not sure what that is

I have most certainly seen my fair share of the devastation and ensuing grief that alcoholism brings. Not only on the addict , but those around them who are mostly powerless to help. Please try to be the hero of your own life story cryingontheinside....just keep saying NO to destructive habits, and keep an eye out for small joys.
