    Craving alone

    Help, I feel like drinking again & I don't think I'll survive another bout of it.
    I try posting here but see no responses to me.
    I've always been an outcast & this is making me feel worse.
    I don't know where to go. Live in a small town w/no friends.
    12 step programs here are far away & cliquesh.
    I'll try this a bit more but I can't bear anything more that makes me feel more alone.
    I promised myself I wouldn't go back to my isolated drinking.
    I hope this works or I can do it alone maybe.
    My last try to reach out.
    Thanks anyway whatever happens.
    :upset: Sorry, but so sad & tired.
    Maybe I'll figure this out how to see if any response to me.

    Craving alone

    Hey Blue..you're not alone...I think i understand that isolated feeling, I felt very much like that too when I was drinking and suffering depression.
    Stick around here, would you like to join the Army thread? Theres a new one every day and a great bunch of people regularly post there...there is always lots of support and a good few laughs, I think you'd like it. Also, there are other threads to check out to see where you feel most comfortable. The most important thing is to keep reading and posting. Take the inspiration from others who have been through similar to you and who are now finding their way out.
    PM me if you wish, never feel you are alone in this, there is always support OK?

        Hi Bluespaces,

        I see that you have 8 posts and many responses to you. Have you gone back to read the responses?

        I hope you are able to not drink today.....isolation can be a bit hard. Keep posting here, you will get responses.

        Best Wishes!

          Hi Blue... you're definitely not alone and/or outcast here!
          Check out the busier threads (see Shelley's answer) and stick around there for a while!

          Gotta run now... but will be on later if you'd like to chat!

            Hi Blue, Don't ever get discouraged here. Sometimes a post does'nt get answered right away. Do let that alcoholic thinking take over. I know I generally felt not worthy and that no one would listen to me either when I first joined. I say thats the depression and isolation alcohol causes us to feel. It wants us to feel that way so we keep coming back as it seems like are only friend. Well, kick it out the door because when you keep reaching out there is alot of support out there.

              You are certainly not alone. i know living in a small town can be difficult. and support groups ther can be tough that way. it is with me as well. cyber space is a great place to get support, and espcially this website. it is very common very people like us to isolate ourselves and just want to lock ourselves away.

              But don't! just keep reading and posting and i swear you will get support and you will start to feel better.! even if you keep drinking you will feel better. it has worked for me. good luck blue!

                Hello and Welcome
                Your Avatar is beautiful btw. I did not see you at first, but I am definitely here for you. I know exactly how you feel. Feel free to pm me anytime. I so know that feeling of being alone. I have been in my bedroom for days. My kids don't even check on me. Perhaps, we I am a rotting corpse and they lose their home, they will. They are in their 20's and won't pay their room and board. I can't pay my bills. I lost my job. If I make it through this bender, I will be happy to help you. I had 10 years of sobriety. Struggling now.

                  Craving alone

                  Hi Bluespaces, I am also alone and craving like mad. It is taking so much hardship not to pour out that first drink, but I know I will not stop at the one. I have taken my kudzu, L-glutamine and vitimins, but the craving is still there. I am studying at the moment, sober!!!! and it is so hard, I have a brain blockage as I am not used to studying without alcohol. Thoughts seem to flow so easily when I have a drink at hand. I just cn't concentrate. It has been a week for me now, and a struggle every day. Have been in bed at 8pm most nights!!! This weekend is going to be hard as my husband and I are away for the weekend tomorrow. So you are not alone here, I am sure there are lots of us thinking exactly the same thoughts. I just don't want to drink so why is it so difficult? I am sick of tea, fruit tea, detox tea, energy tea, lapsang tea Earl Grey tea, my cupboard is full, but my life still seems empty without my wine. Stay strong, I am going to put the kettle on.

                    I never log onto this thread, just hit the key by accident.I see it was a couple days ago that you posted.
                    Are you doing alright? have you tried the Newbie's Nest under just starting out?

                    Please don't be sad--know that there are lots of people here willing and able to help you.
                    Do you want to PM me? It is Sunday night, almost 7 PM Eastern time. I will be here a few more minutes then dinner, but I will check back. Please reply so I know you are okay.

                        Hi blue

                        Maybe you posted it a number of places and people responded on one thread and you couldn't find your way back again.

                        Kate seems to be saying there were responses. Hope you find these at least. Please check back and let us know you got them.

                        Even if you didn't get responses, the others are right that there are some group threads where you can get to know other people. Never fear if 12 step is not for you. There are tons of people here who feel the same way.

                        Give this some time and do not give in to those cravings!
                        Take care
                        Nancy

                          My Dear Blue,

                          You are so not alone! I started a thread for you. Here it is:

                          https://www.mywayout.org/community/f1...s-2-30572.html

                          Please take a few minutes to read it. We are here for you. We've been trying so hard to reach you. I've sent you a private message (PM) and I believe someone else has too. Those you can see by clicking on your mail icon on the upper right hand corner of your screen. You have a mail box here, too.

                          I hope you post back here. We are here for you, honest.
                          Be
