I'm not sure what else to tell you except I know what you're feeling and I'm not giving up. I don't think you should either.

Siren. That is exactly how I feel Inconsolable.. don't give up

Thanks for the note

I have been exactly where you are now. Hating everything about me and life in general.

Maybe the relationship you need to work on right now is the one with yourself.

I know I can't be happy in any relationship if I'm not happy with me.

Don't sit and stew. Post, go for a walk, Post, eat something, Post, read around MWO, Post.

Will check back later....PPQP

Well I have had about 5 good cry's this morning.

Thanks for your support

Hey Red....in my opinion there is nothing like a good cry. Glad to see you back! Red do yourself a favor....look back at your posts from when you weren't drinking and compare them to the ones when you were drinking. There is a big difference between them. When you weren't drinking you were happy and up beat....now you hate your life, hate yourself and you feel like crap. I don't need to tell you what made the difference, you already know. Don't beat yourself up.....pick yourself up, dust yourself off and get back up on the AF living wagon. You can do this! Never ever quit quitting.......you won't regret it! Stay strong my friend. Give your beautiful pups a big hug, take them for a walk.....and get started on living the life you are meant to live AF....is the only way to be! Let today be the first day of the rest of your life!

Thinking of you, red :l
Hey listen, sweetie. I promise you will feel better tomorrow. Just do what you can to get through this day and things will look differently tomorrow. You can not change the way your ex feels about you, but you can change yourself and the way you respond to others. You are an amazing person, Red. Believe in yourself!

Red,

You wouldn't have come back here if deep down, you didn't still really want to quit. Some others who were on this board when I began seem to have disappeared and I'm concerned about what has happened to them. BUT YOU CAME BACK. So you want to do it, you know how to do it, and you have people here who want to support you. Why wait to start feeling better?

If you can hold, in the front of your mind, that alcohol has probably cost you this relationship then you can truly hate it and make sure it takes no more of your life.

Courage my friend :h

I had given up and thought for sure I'd die a slow torturous death from alcohol until I found baclofen.

And that's all you need to get through red - just get through this evening.

Also red, as many have said, much admiration to you - you're sticking at this, you DO have the strength and you DO have the courage. You're gonna do good.

Keep going Rednose, you can do it. Try and think about yourself, be really selfish to reach sobriety. Try not to focus on the ex, it seems to be helping you self destruct, I know it's tough I really do. I've been in a situation where I desperately,loved someone and they didn't love me back, I was drinking heavily at the time and. It just made me crazy about the whole situation, the irony is that when I sobered up my feelings stopped and I realised I wasn't in love at all! Not saying this is the same for you but if you can get some AF time and get a clear head you will handle your emotions more easily x

I know what you mean. I need to get my focus off of her. It is hard right now.
I feel like alcohol was my Pacifier.
Today is really hard at the moment. Glad there is no gin in the house.

Thanks for the support.

Right now I just got in to bed. Not feeling to good.
Hope to get a nap in and watch the Celtics beat
Denver tonight. I need rest for sure. I have been up
Since 3am.
So far that is my plan for the night.
Rest, eat, and be nice to myself.

Rednose thanks you all.:thanks:
