Not sure what to say but I'm stuck

Your post and the responses have been of such asssist.

those in my immediate circle could toss me to the curb because of repeated attempts.

A welcomed hand is extended in your honor~

I know of this difficulty and what I feel is what you feel.

Lonliness is not an option once in contact~

Your terror is my terror~

Hello Waterboy :welcome:


I just wanted to say hello and I hope that you do stick around; everyone?s situation is different yet similar in many respects ? not sure if that makes sense. You sound like you are in a real tough corner right now and just can?t find a way out and I?m not sure if anyone will have the answer for you but at least you can post here and maybe release some of the frustrations you feel rather than having another drink. Living in a world filled with fear must be a nightmare I was living in a world filled with anxiety not so long ago and that was bad enough.

Take care and keep posting.

I'm glad you're still here waterboy. It wasn't easy for me to open up about the things that pushed me over the edge ten years ago with the work and family problems, being shot at, health issues etc (I forgot to mention I ended up with Hep C due to a workplace injury on top of all this). I did that for the first time to help you see we all have terrible issues we can keep making excuses to drink over. However, writing it is kind of cathartic. If anyone here works out who I am I really wouldn't give a tinker's cuss anymore because of all the support. All I know is this is the closest I've been to getting sober and that's NUMBER ONE in my life. I still have problems but I can face them better sober. You will too.
Don't worry about the clique comment... fear and defensiveness is part of being an alcoholic.
Hang in there. We really do care.

Hi Waterboy,
It's a shame you don't feel comfortable sharing exactly what is going on, but you must have your reasons and they sound serious. I would suggest you read as much as you can here and follow links that you can relate to. There is a lot of information to absorb that could help. Sometimes it helped me to read the 'My Story' section. Especially when I was kinda annoyed by a comment or post. It helped me to realize that people are just trying to understand themselves by helping others. No one has a list of the right things to say to each person who comes along. We are all strangers with one thing in common all of us have concerns about our own drinking. I hope you stay around as you've asked for help and that is always the first step. At the end of the day we are all just a bunch of people individually typing away on our computers looking for help out of our own bad situations. We are advised to not even use our real names.
