    New and scared to death

    Welcome. I hope you are able to get into rehab. soon somehow. But as Dolly said you can do it even without it, there are those here that have. Do come here for support and take all the nutritional supplements. I would not recommend trying to moderate as you are really dealing with a lot. Overall, AA is not appealing to me but I have been involved with 2 women only non-smoking groups that I loved. Do whatever it takes. You have much to live for.

          Welcome to the site. I'm sorry to hear everything you've been through, it sounds like you've been through a bad time. I have only recently joined this site, you have definitely come to the right place for help and support though. I do think a lot of people have eating disorders with drinking problems. I know I have been bulimic in the past and on the verge of anorexia. I am up to a healthy weight again now, but the urge is always there I think. I think I know what you mean though, if you beat one addiction sometimes it can be replaced by another.
          I think you have made the first step which is admitting that you have a problem, that is probably one of the hardest steps to make and you have done well in coming on here and telling your story.

          Take care

            Anyone still there? I'm getting ready to call 911 for detox and more debt to pay off. Any body want to help me financially? Just for detox I mean. If you want to help more thats cool too. I'm sorry I'm even asking; I'm too fing messed up to be proud. I need a savior.

                Oh, sweetie. Do you have someone who can be with you through some of this process? Money should be your least worry, but I know it's practical to think of. Doesn't your state, etc. provide for treatment?? It costs so much less in the longrun than taking care of longterm alcoholics. Keep in touch. Rehab can be a great thing, if you want to change.:h

                  Rach, I think calling 911, or getting to the best hospital in your area, a big one, they usually have more options for detox....is a good idea if you can't stop drinking....lots on this site have gone to the hospital for detox, they should admit you when you tell them its for alcohol, and give you support in the way of IV meds, fluids, and make the detox process easier, physically, thus mentally also. Our hospital here, has a councelor come and talk with patients on various options after dismissal, when you are better, and have rested. You have lots of things going for you, and you need to focus on the POSITIVES!!! Alcohol is a depressant as you know, so as long as you are constantly putting it down the hatch, you are going to feel depressed, and anxious, and hopeless, so I think the first step is detox....then you can think more clearly. If I were you, I'd call my Mom, and tell her this time its different, let her read what you wrote on here...that you are serious, you don't want to die from this, and you know you will if you don't get to rehab, tell her you are calling or going to the hospital right now. She asked you specifically what you wanted her to do....TELL HER IF AT ALL POSSIBLE, TO SEND YOU TO REHAB, COMMIT YOU FOR 30 DYS, OR MORE, AND SAVE YOUR LIFE...you can pay them back later also tell them...You will get a job when you are 100%, you obviously have a great education, and that in itself is A BIG POSITIVE...some here, just don't or never were able to get a degree or esp. a master's degree....you did that, even under the circumstances, and addiction....JUST THINK WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH ALL THAT BRAIN POWER WHEN ITS HITTING ALL CYLINDERS!!! THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS FOR YOU! You do need serious counceling with this, which you will get in rehab....if your folks don't go for it, find a drug and alcohol councelor in your area, and/or a center for uninsured that does counceling for free....for that matter, go to a soup kitchen or shelter, they have councelors helping folks there, you could at least find someone that might know who could help you.....just the thoughts I had.. Also, google Celebrate Recoery, its awesome....an assoc. pastor of Rick Warren, Saddleback church in Ca., that wrote, The Purpose Driven Life...well, this assoc. pastor was a drunk, and knew he couldn't be the only one on Sunday in that huge church that felt the same, and had the same problem and shame...they developed a program that is really, really cool, and uplifting, and sooo non-judgemental, AND, they have councelors too...its for alkies, eating disorders, gambling, whatever, food addiction...its for "hang-up, hurts, and habits"..... Anyway, I hope you get help, and get someplace and get started today! Call your Mom...... she loves you, she's just most likely frustrated,.....assure her you are for real....

                      I've called 911 six times and been "transfered" and hung up on each time. They don't care. Forgive me for being angry, please!

                          READ READ READ! Read everyones stories, their posts, everything. I knew people here before I ever typed a word! I have never seen so many brave people in my life. Please hang on sweet girl. Mom and dad may not understand that your reach for help is real, this time. Maybe if they can read your heat felt note to us....maybe they will help. If not...well its up to you. Please dont leave. I dont think you will ever know just how much you touch the hearts of people you dont know yet.

                            Hi Hun, this is onlt the 4th day of sobriety for me. but i can tell you this; don't hate yourself - hate the alcohol. i thought i'd never be able to stop drinking, but I'm doing well. I want to tell you what worked for me, a book called "the easy way to stop drinking", i can't really explain it, but it worked for me. it's day 4 and i'm looking forward to day 5, 6, 7,..and so on.. Don't worry, AA didn't worjk for me either
                            .you hang in there kiddo.
                            place yourself in control of the alcohol, not the other way around..
