Still Drink Every Day

Posted by lastchild on May 25, 2007, at 2:54:07

I don't usually drink to the point of sickness or complete mind numbing intoxication right now. That state is hard to achieve actually.

A few days ago I was vomiting, but because of a prior stomach surgery, that is just an exercise in dry heaves.

I haven't been outside in a day, past my patio in a few weeks, and outside my complex in a few months.

I haven't talked to a family member in 2 years, a friend in 5 months.

My wife does her best for me and brings me beer. I try to remain human for her benefit.

this is a slow death.

I've gone to the hospital a few times in the past year. (and escaped before the locked door finally closed) I held a job within the past year. Drinking is actually low on the list of my problems. I'm putting this on the substance board because few come here.

A message to myself and the universe. I'm scared.

I'm going to keep this up for a little while longer. I feel like I've run out of options.

Your wife is being co dependant by bringing you drinks. Please check into a rehab facility and they now have meds to help stop drinking campral works really good. Good luck Love Phillipa

Do you want to stop drinking? That is the most important sign of success. Do you take any meds or see a therapist and what other problems do you have? I'm listening now. Love Phillipa

Hey. Thanks for the support, both of you. Sorry I posted and left. I think I penetrated some sense into my brain a little though.

Still don't know exactly what I'm going to do, but doing something seems more possible now than several days ago.
