    AA question...and day 1...I think

    I tried to go AF yesterday and made it all the way to about noon when I changed my mind and got drunk by 2. (I never do that) I felt so badly that I fingured since I was drunk I would stop and get something to eat and go the rest of the day without anymore. That didn't work either. As soon as I felt better, a friend (that I haven't seen in years) stopped over. SHe had ONE BEER, and I got drunk again. I got drunk twice in 1 day...is that possible? (I never did that before either). SO you can image how I feel right now...but so far I am AF today. I was hoping you guys would help me make to the end of the day today.

    Now, my question is this...it would "look good" in court for me to go to AA even though I know that is not the way I want to do this nor do I think it will benefit me. I thought I would get some suggestions from those of you that did this route.

    Nothing else has changed, my situation is still crappy and I feel like crap. My anxeity is through the roof. I am going to try the sups this time when I get back to town (I am in the middle of nowhere camping and will probably stay the night...sort of like a rehab for tonight. I am getting support from my BF but am wearing him out.

    Thanks guys.

    AA question...and day 1...I think

    Hi Colbe,
    I hope you were able to soeak to some people in chat.

    I used to get drunk, fall asleep, get up and get drunk again twice a day. It's horrible when you see an even worse behaviour emerge that you didn't do before.

    However, on the other side of it you can put new behaviours in place that are good and that are new to you as well. Like, gosh I didn't drink on X situation, where I usually would have. That's like a nice feeling.

    How has today gone? Have you managed to stay AF today? I hope you are doing ok.

      It's 2pm and I am about to do something (I really have to) that is going to kill me. I don't know if I will make it through. I can't get into chat because my connection out here is too slow. Here I go...and thanks for the response!

              What do you mean when you say that you are about to do something that is going to kill you? Are you thinking about harming youself?

              Sorry...no, well not intentionally. I had (and I didn't finish and have to do more) to document a ton of information for court...defending myself for something I did not do and it is a very complicated matter. It will be a book by the time I am done but the pain of even trying to think of the necessary events is too much. I am getting more depressed by the day making it harder and harder to be effective in just getting the basics of a day done, nevermind this.

                Hey there, Colbe. Kimberly said something that I thought was so important - and something to be so proud of .... "However, on the other side of it you can put new behaviours in place that are good and that are new to you as well. Like, gosh I didn't drink on X situation, where I usually would have. That's like a nice feeling."

                That is exactly the type of "babystep" that has been working for me. New things, new situations. A little something new, here and there ... Bit by bit.

                Keep that up - WELL DONE. And keep on posting!
                AF for two years. Slight relapse. Working on it at the moment.

                  Hiya Colbe,
                  Life is very complicated for you right now -- it will only make it more so if you carry on drinking girlfriend.
                  You know you can do this -- you have the strength and determination to make this change.
                  Sending you loads of good vibes.
