    What should i do?

    Hi all
    Hope today finds you well.

    I dont know what to do...i chickened out of going the docs today and my very understanding GP is not in until next thurs now, I dont know if any of the other docs would give me the librium to detox with.I'm still drinking as the withdrawals i had today were too bad (sweating, shaking, hearing things and just feeling horrid) . Each time i try and stop they get worse and im really scared, i know that im doing myself real damage and that im gonna have severe withdrawals as apart from the odd day when iv tried to stop iv been drinking a bottle of vodka a day for about 5 wks now which is the longest and most excessive binge iv ever had. Im so scared that im gonna start fitting and seeing things and that i could die that i dont know what to do. I dont wanna go to hospital again as i feel like such a failure (iv allready been detoxed there twice).
    Any advice would be really appreciated, i know i might sound a bit dramatic but i really am scared.

    Love

    Hi Lou,

    Sounds like you have a couple of choices. Continue drinking until you get to see your doctor which I don't believe you want to do or get immediate medical attention to help you. I hear you and know that you want to get better. Don't feel like a failure. You are not. You are here and you want to get better. Do it!

      Your right i dont wanna carry on drinking till nxt week, ill have to go the docs thing is i realy dont think they'll give me the librium as i have a history of over dosing (9 in the past 12 months) and i cant do anything now as its 1.130 in the morning here....i cant sleep and i dont have much drink left. I know by the morning im gonna be a wreck and wont wanna move let alone go the docs....i hate this.

        Is there another hospital you can go to? and no, I don't think the doctor will give you the librium...hang in there...

          You can't stop cold turkey at this point though by yourself!

            Please get help. Don't wait. The withdrawal can be devestating especially if you are having delusions. Call an ambulance if you need too but just be well.
            I will be thinking about you. Please keep in touch

              I know its not wise but maybe i should at least try cold turkey again...if things get to bad i can get help then...but it might go to far and i dont wanna scare my family by going all wierd and freaking out.I dont know what to do...i feel too ashamed to get help.
              I cant even look at myself in the mirror at the moment as i discust myself so much, i feel like a pathetic, usless faliure and if i dont stop drinking im going to lose everything. Iv prob already lost my job and i dont know how much more of this my family can take, sorry for being so miserable and thanks for listening

                        Listen to Macks, Lou--I know you feel terrible, but pride is nothing when your life is at stake, love. We all care about you.

                        Thinking about you, sweetie,

                              Hi Lou...N.G.U, P.P, Macks and Kathy ditto.......ignore any shame...I know it's hard, I've been there before too many times...but it's frightening as hell....check yourself in sweetie.
                              If it makes you feel better...tell them about MWO, I know that once hospital staff know that this IS something you are trying to change, their attitude can change...and yes, I also know that they shouldn't have an attitude, but some are always less empathetic than others...
                              Lou Lou...I'm worried, as I know just how freaky this is, but i really believe that the best thing to do is to go...you can't keep drinking til next week honey, not in the state you're in.....this will make things soooooo much worse, I know that you know that, and I know that the shame is big...it has to be to stop you getting the help you need and deserve...please sweetie, please go.......Is there no one who you trust enough to go with you????? keep us posted dear..... courage .....Melon xoxoxo
