i have a problem

Posted by girllazarus on December 2, 2005, at 10:27:10


I just feel like sharing this nasty secret. I drink myself to oblivion most nights eg 6 nights/week. Sometimes I wet myself in my sleep. Every morning i tell myself... no more, but come 10pm i feel differently and do it again. I'm ashamed, lonely and miserable.

Congradulations on posting your concern. I know it took a lot of courage to do so.

Now, I hate to say this, but you are an alcoholic. I know, because I am an alcoholic, and I used to drink to oblivion just like you. It didn't start out that way, but it PROGRESSED to that level.

Alcoholics, without exception, are afraid of people. That is why you drink.

Call AA when you are ready. You are not alone; there are millions of people just like you.

Your friend,
Lazarus

You are not alone. Lots of people have problems like this. Don't try to quit "COLD TURKEY". Cut back a little bit each day or week.............."baby steps" OKAY???

Take Care...

I have a problem too. Unlike you I binge, but only do it once or twice a month. I have no red light. I do such stupid things. Last night I was in a bar and was talking to this gal and for some reason I felt compelled to kiss her. They threw me out.

I drove home drunk, made a fool of myself and have a horrible hangover. I had quit previously for years, I HAVE to do it again. I'm going to seek professioinal help, join AA, what ever it takes.

I understand how you feel. I promise myself every time I won't do it again, but do. I am an alcoholic. I have a 800 pound gorilla following me around that jumps on my back when ever he feels like it.....sigh
