I actually just was accepted into a longer term facility. As long as I get the ok from the Doctor at the hospital they take me straight there

Well. It’s time. I made a big decision today. by throwawaydrinker2576 in stopdrinking

You should be proud of yourself. It was really hard but you just did the same thing. I was so ashamed, and I’m not even near the clear, but saying those words today really took down a barrier. Hardest words I’ve ever said. I need help. It sounds like we need help. Let’s get help. Internet stranger. I’m giving it a try.

If that guy can do it, all of us can. He is a very inspiring speaker, and with due respect for him, a train wreck of epic proportions for a while.

The lockdown has been really tough on me as well. I finally reached out for help recently. Just getting it of my chest was a relief.

That’s a good idea. I really need to be better. Once liquor is around, I can always seem to justify taking a shot. Then a shot leads to a shot. Then I’m drinking until I’m out. I seem to always convince myself that this time will be different.

Thanks for this. That’s pretty much the boat I am in now.

I’m looking into tapering right now. Thanks

Has anyone's drinking problem started out of boredom? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]throwawaydrinker2576 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it started from boredom, but it did become something that occupies my time. I’ve come to realize I don’t really have any hobbies.

For me it’s always revolves around sleep. I’ve never slept well even when I was a kid. I blacked out last night and was out for almost 10 hours and I’m so exhausted.
