scared and afraid
I'm coming off from a four day bender. My life is trashed right now and I'm scared. I always said my drinking never hurt anyone but myself, I never drove while drinking, I;d come home and start on a bottle wine and drank till I passed out. I'd get up the next day go to work, come home and open another bottle of wine. I said I drank to relax because my job was stressful, then I lost my job. This morning I realized that I had crossed my line in the sand, I realized that I had driven my car while drunk - something I said I'd never do. How did I come to this point?:upset:Tags: None

Hello Cat Lady,
I knew my drinking was getting progressively worse and that alcohol and I had to go our separate ways. This site, amongst other things, has helped me in so many positive ways and it can help you too. Please take a look around at all MWO has to offer and know you are definitely not alone. Welcome!2023 - focus, getting it done, and living the way it should be and being the person I need to be.

Hi Crazy CAt Lady :welcome: .... we have all been where you are at the moment and it IS possible to stop the madness. If you've got through day one, there is nothing to stop you getting through day two. What are you scared of?
Make some plans for the next couple of days to keep yoursel busy and occupied and away from your normal patterns. And do you know about the toolbox thread?? It has helped many and I have it printed out and it is in my bag at all times!

CCL, just wanted to welcome you and say that there is a lot of great support here, which I'm sure you know.
If you can't do it on your own with the help of MWO, have you considered other options? Some people here seem to be having success with medications (see thread on front page). Others go to rehab or AA. I'm leaving those options open for myself depending on how I do.
Have you thought about getting the MWO book and CDs Sheri mentioned? You can also buy lots of supplements that might help.......many different avenues........hope you can find something that works. We're all struggling, so you are not alone.

Hi CatLady,
Congrats on day two--it gets easier. I just passed day 31. Keeping busy has really helped. I've been cleaning my house like mad. The neighbors must think I'm moving I've been throwing so much junk out. I was doing great while my husband was home to keep my accountable, but worried what would happen when he started traveling. Luckily I was a few weeks in and haven't had more than a passing--it might be nice to have a drink thought. It helps I'm losing weight and don't want to jeopordize that.
Keep at it--stay strong and keep reading the boards. Whenever I was tempted I'm just read posts and that made the urge go away.
