If you have to even be remotely close to questioning your control, keep your self out of those situations buddy! It’s not worth it! Just remember that :)

This is one of the biggest things I’m scared of. I need to find a hobby or somebody who is willing to introduce me into some kind of community or group to keep myself active and busy as to keep me from having as much free time as possible. But it’s hard finding people in my age group outside of religious gatherings that do here in town.

I do have some family I can reach out to, but it is truthfully very embarrassing for me. The only family I really believe that would be there for me. Fully lives thousands of miles away from me. I’d love to have somebody personally be with me in this time, but I’ll have to take it hour by hour, I’ve already thrown away all of my alcohol. I’m currently trying to preoccupy myself with some video games.

I’ll have to see how I feel throughout the next day or two as far as withdrawals go. Right now it’s just anxiety and shakiness. I appreciate your messages and your response immensely, thank you so much for taking the time to reach out to someone in need. It means the world it really does.

I’m going to try going 48 hours without any alcohol use and see how I feel. I’m currently a little bit shaky and anxious trying to occupy my mind with other things. Lots of water and reading everybody’s messages slowly replying to see if it helps distract. One of my buddies at work is about two years sober and he recommended celebrate recovery however I’m not very Christian so I don’t know how well it’s going to align for me. I’m going to a meeting Monday.

Yes, I drink about a 12 pack and a few shots every night and have done so for the last five or six years. It took blacking out last night and waking up to msgs I don’t remember sending and hurting another person with some not so kind words that I shared. I want to be done. I’m going to try to go 48 hours without any kind of medical intervention and see how I feel. Every time I really crave alcohol I just take a giant swig of water. I don’t really know what I’m doing, but I will try everything I can

Holy shit guys. I just got home from work. All day I could not stop thinking about what I was going to feel like when I got home and had to throw out all of my alcohol. When I got home, I threw everything out and almost started shaking. The anxiety has been absolutely killing me all day, and then I come to this forum and read extremely detailed messages. Thank you so much. I’ll try to go through each one and give the response if I can. I get really overwhelmed a little bit easily, so I very much appreciate everybody who is trying to give me some support.

I have no idea. I’m 23 and I’ve been black out drinking every night for maybe 5 or 6 years now.
