Damn I want a drink.

[rednose]

Damn I want a drink. I have so much shit going on in my life it is hard to cope without a drink. Mother in Nursing home dying, Relationship falling apart, Business is way down,
The lis just seems to go on and on. It seems the only place I can find relief is in the bottle.
God there has to be another way but I have yet to find it.

Trust me on this one...Nothing is so bad that a drink won't make it WORSE!!!

Oh Red, don't do it. It will only make matters worse. Stay on here and post your a$$ off!!!!

Red nose .... It is ONLY the drink making you want a drink. All the things you mention are JUST LIFE.
I have a mother losing her mind to dementia, how would me drinking change that?

Cry, jog, scream, eat, read, sleep, phone a friend, take a bath, clean the house......do anything except swallow poison.

Have courage.....it WILL pass

HEY RED

THey are right! Get through the crap of life without alcohol

I love what Kuya said-don't swallow poison. I never thought of it that way and I love that.

It gets better! Hang in there

Rednose - hang in there mate. As kuya said (and it sounds harsh but it's true) all the things you mention are life - NO drink will remove, ease, appease, or make better any of these...

But with some courage and time and a clear head you will see how you are making it better without the need of a bottle. Hang in there.

Many people deal with shit in their lives every day without getting drunk. Don't use it as an excuse. This is all a part of the path to sobriety. We've all used alcohol to keep us from having to deal with the hard parts of life. But it's time to take ownership. You can do it.

Its just the drink playing games. If you drink, your mom will still be dying, your business and relationships will still be down, and now on top of it all, now your drunk/having a raging hangover and realize the drink didn't do crap for you and now your back to day 1.

Its not worth it. Hang in there and I am praying for you and your family.

This struck a note with me too....I will have to remember this......I was so close to pouring a glass of wine after a rough afternoon today. Just wanted the relax and escape mode to kick in and wine always did that for me. Fought through it again though, and know that it's bedtime, I'm glad I did. Will be even happier in the morning when I can start day 17 instead of day 1!

This shows how reading the posts here help us get through some rough spots!:thanks:

Hi Red,
I'm just one State up from you here in Wa but we are in the Same State...very much indeed

Want to fricken drink...Saw some struggles over in the. #%^*#%#^^*+ thread which made me feel less alone.

Drifty's right though... even if we drink your mom will still be in the nursing home and that piece of Shit will still be sucking parents into her school.... The few hours of oblivion will stop our forward motion...I hate saying that because I really do want to drink but at this point just have to push through...

Let's just ...drink ....hot chocolate...or mint tea....or diet Pepsi....and then head off to bed...after Star Trek of course

:l:h

Eat a sandwich or something instead. It saved my butt more than once the first month.

Drifty hit it out of the park with that answer........sage advice


Its all about distracting and changing your AL brain, to allow your normal brain to take back over.

Hey Rednose, I hope you managed to avoid the drink. And sending many hugs for your mum and other problems x
