I NEED to quit drinking! I have read the book and been listening to the CD's, I have the supplements but have not started taking them yet but my drinking had gotten out of control worse than ever in the last couple weeks. I thought I was doing ok, and just looked at my phone and apparently talked to a bunch of people I do not remember last night. I have been in rehab twice, AA did not work. I am so freaked out right now! What did I say to them? UGH I hate this feeling. Today has to be Day 1! I hate myself so much right now!

Hi Taw!
You are not alone in how you feel right now. I had my share of mornings where I could not remember what I said, who I texted, emailed, called, etc. Yes, it is a horrible feeling. But what's done is done. What you CAN do is just move on from here. Don't hate yourself, just focus on how you are going to stay AF today. Please read around this site and keep posting. Let us know how you're doing. We'll be here to help.

Hi Taw - Been there..done that, and much worse. I'm glad you're putting a stake in the ground. Ohterwise the madness never stops. Try sticking close to this site and read what has helped others kick start going AF. For me, it was the shame, guilt, and humiliation I caused myself and family. YOU CAN DO THIS. Take the supplements, read about rx options, and use the CD's. We are all here for you. Keep posting, and never never give up.Outside of a dog a book is mans best friend.

Thank you! I am still feeling awful, not hungover just very upset with myself....and I know a drink would make that go away....I am going to go home and take some supplements before I go to my son's baseball game!

And the funny thing is all I can think about is going home and drinking! What is wrong with me?????"What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us." Ralph Waldo EmersonComment

Don't go home until you absolutely need to then. Like when your son gets home and focus on getting him ready for baseball and get out again right away. Have a picnic supper in a park before the game perhaps? Just some thoughts. You can chose!!! Take care....
Start by doing what's necessary, then what's possible and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

It just amazes me how much time I think about drinking! It is the last thing I WANT to do but it is ALL I can think about..."What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us." Ralph Waldo EmersonComment

Taw-
I can totally understand what you mean about being obsessed in your thoughts about alcohol. I was like that too. It's funny how the thing you least want to do is what consumes your thoughts. Can do you anything tonight to stay busy, something that cannot involve alcohol? A movie, the library, anything? The first few nights are the hardest. Be sure to eat well, stay hydrated and get as much rest as possible. It will get easier, I promise.
Sending good thoughts your way...
