So Tired - Need Some Positive Feedback
Help - I am so very tired and also scared - I look about at my family and wonder if I will ever be free of this parasite - this need to drink my feelings away. It seems like it is alcohol or drugs - all around me. I feel sometimes like the only way to free myself from this is to completely divorce myself from my family. How can I do that when my kids are so emotionally attached and somewhat unaware of the real issues? How do I do this when I am living a life that is so full of responsibility and stress? I look at these programs that put us in a safe place to get better and I think - how can this model work? We have to go back to the same place - stress and responsibility - we have to rely on the same inner voices and, eventually, the same coping mechanism - escape. I am SO discouraged and sad about my inability to make a real step forward.
Please give me some hope. I need it so very much.Tags: None

There's nothing to be ashamed or guilty about, Well...
Many A-listers as well as Z-listers have been in and out of rehab, struggling for years with alcohol and drug abuse.
You have nothing to be ashamed of. No one can or should ever judge you.
Stay strong... it is now 6:00 p.m. here in California, and my "delusions" are kicking in!
Keep coming to this Forum. Lots of good advice and supplements you can purchase here or in any health food store.

Wellseasoned, you have made a good move I think, asking for help here. No matter what struggles we have, we can always use some support from others who are taking a similar journey. I thought I would always live a life of alcohol and drugs too. Its horrible. With the support here I have cleaned up. Visit often, read and post, take all the help and support you can. Its here in bucketloads.Living now and not just existing since 9th July 2008

I'm also sad and tired after drinking over the weekend. What a merry go round!!! I know I will be better off just realizing that I cannot drink no matter what. Life's stress and responsibilities are weighing heavily on me lately too. What the hell was I thinking!!! It's the lure of the escape that always takes me back there. aargh...I need to keep moving forward and fight the fight no matter what...can't give up. Hang in there wellseasoned....apparently we have to find new ways to deal with our stressors.
Everything I need is within me!

I do feel so alone in this - my family does not help at all. I sometimes think I just need to divorce myself from them (parents) completely to have any hope of getting better myself. Break my heart to save myself I guess.Living now and not just existing since 9th July 2008
