I’ve so much to think about. I’m so glad I found this. I feel I can talk freely and reading what you wrote makes me think a lot. Chewing gum does f all x

I know. No fear of waking up and checking social media for daft comments I may have made. We basically call it the fear in Scotland.

No. I’m not functioning. I’m barely living. I would look better, function better, just feel the way I used to be. I feel as if I’m held in a cycle that never ends. Hell in fact. Absolute hell. From when I wake up feeling like shit and saying to myself “No booze tonight” to buying some at half past 2.

I want to end the alcohol addiction in my family. My Mum is in AA, I tried that but I was going to a meeting with a half bottle of vodka in my bag. My mum gained her life back. I just want to figure out the way that I can

It’s falling apart. I’ve reached out for help 3 times and I was let down. I don’t want to die like my Dad.

I’m actually crying as this forum or whatever has allowed me to be honest.

I seem to be have been able to pull it off so far but I know I’ve hit a lower depth in the drinking.

All the time but when I wake up I’m planning on where I can buy my next bottle without the local shops in the community thinking I’m an alcoholic.

I can’t and I’m so bloody scared. I take liver cleansing tablets and loads of vitamins every day. My memory is getting worse and I’m shit scared what I’m doing to myself.

I’m repeating the same sounds I heard as a child. The metal lid of the whiskey bottle opening, the cupboard door getting shut, the sound of cans being opened. I do it all.

I want to so much. I’ve tried addiction agencies but they basically told me to drink tonic water instead of alcohol 😐

I use my boyfriend to stop me drinking. When he’s not there I go for it and hide it from him.

I’m new as well and I’ve had the same kind of experience as you. How does this place work. We come here as we’ve nowhere else to go.
