I am a binge drinker - help!

[Guest]

I am doing it again and with disastrous results. I have L-Glut at home, awaiting GABA and KUDZU. I also know without confidence AA is no no.

I have a loving BF and my drinking has meant I was date-raped at the weekend, by another alcoholic.

I am so sorry for your horrible experience. It seems that you know the program and have some of the tools. I wish I had some words of wisdom for you. I am a newbie-Day 9. I just keep thinking about how horrible I felt physically and mentally and that seems to help. I do go to AA, but only because I am often alone and need sober friends. I am sure that some of the other members with more experience can help. You are in my thoughts and prayers.:l

So sorry Sweetheart...AL the distroyer at work again...If you can get a few days sober then maybe your boyfriend can make sure you take a daily Antabuse.That way he will know you are seriously trying and you will have to think before you drink...ABOVE ALL ELSE...NEVER STOP TRYING!!!!!

Hi

I am really sorry to hear about this latest distressing incident.

Sometimes these types of things can be a real wakeup call. You can give up drinking. You don't have to live like this. I guess the best thing to do (easier said than done) is to just never take that first drink.

I am wishing you luck with your goals and hoping you will be safe.

I am so sorry about what happened this weekend. Alcohol does not excuse that behavior. Please do not put all the blame on yourself for what happened. But do do whatever it takes to quite drinking so you are not in any more of these situations.

Hi UK,
What a horrible experience! What AL does to us is incredible! I'm also a binge drinker and lost, for the 3rd time.!!! my prescription glasses during the last binge. There is no way that the insurance is going to pay out again - which makes it a very costly story.
Don't be hard on yourself for what happened over the weekend - AL changes the real us.
All the best.
Jessie

Healing thoughts going out to you. I am so sorry that happened to you. AL is a horrible evil demon when uncontrolled. I am pretty new here myself and struggling with the lure of the vino. It is really hard. We can do this. The people on this site are some of the most wonderful and honest people around. Stay here and read and post. You will beat this thing. Life is just too damn short to drown it's joy in alcohol....

I hope you pressed charges against the person who date-raped you!!!

No matter how drunk you were; you do NOT deserve to be 'raped' or to be taken advantage of!!

I am so sorry. You must be feeling so violated.

I am hoping you find the strength to quit drinking. We all deserve to be out of the clutches of this horrid disease.

I'm so very sorry for what happened to you UK, and whatever you think, it wasn't your fault... so go easy on yourself! I can assure you that whatever baggage we all carry around from our drinking years will be put into perspective when we think clearly again... this doesn't rectify any situation, it just helps us deal with our pasts. I had tremendous guilt, but in my previous sober years, I was able to put my past behind me... you know what, it wasn't tough, it just took so sober time! I wish you the very best!

UK,

What a horrible experience that you have had. I'm sorry that you are hurting. Know that we are all with you and we can help get you through this. Let me know if you need anything. Just keep trying. You know how to do it. In my prayers, Gabby.

Dear UK, So sorry this has happened to you. It's a double whammy of pain and guilt. 30 years ago, when the same thing happened to me, there was no one and no place I could go to talk about it. I did see an doctor under an assumed name but that was all the help I could get. I sometimes still feel a wash of guilt and hurt during early morning dreamtime flashbacks. Sounds like you have people you can talk to. Don't keep it festering inside you. What could happen if you did file charges? Many hugs, gelgit

It's not quite as clear as that. Basically I made a series of silly decisions, and the next minute I am doing something with a person I said I would never go near again. There was no force and my drink addled brain thought I had to do it.

Anyway, I've stopped drinking only to come down with what I suspect to be my yearly dose of tonsilitis. Originally presumed it was the after effects of the drink but a night of hot and cold, aching from the top of my head to tips of toes, throat thick, tongue swollen headache. All this despite of taking vits, Kudzu, painkillers and some Topa (figured that would help in case I got anxious) along with tons of fluid yesterday and good food. I can't eat today and every joint hurts.

No work today and try get in with the Dr later.

I have been diagnosed with tonsilitis. Last couple of times (years) I would have been down the pub to drink it off. I now know I can use this to my advantage. Feeling ill puts me off so I should use this to get ahead. Longer I don't drink the easier it will be. Had my supps today and vits.

Trying to sleep but bit difficult when industrial cleaners turn up to do the carpets throught the entrance halls/stairwells. Even now they are across the block and still making a racquet.
