    hi all i need to pour my heart out....

    Antabuse sounds really bloody scary girly and is totally the wrong focus for you.

    It isn't your drinking and drug taking that is the root of your problems. It is your depression and anxiety and it is this that needs the relevant medication.

    Forget antabuse - I can't believe you would even consider taking it and then drinking on it, if you already suffer from panic attacks! I just googled it and started feeling tight chested reading the 'MILD' side effects.

    You need a course of antidepressents that treat anxiety - I told you before I am in the UK and I went to see my Dr 2 months ago because I had started having hideous debilitating panic attacks - brought on by the fact that I have underlying depression, a drink problem and lots of unmanagemable stress in my life.

    She put me on Citalopram - it is an antidepressent that stops panic attacks. She also put me on a hypnosis course - I sent you the link to it last time - and I feel LOADS better. I've found the strength to stop drinking and to start functioning again like a proper person.

    Quit your job and go to your Dr and demand treatment for depression and anxiety because you're going to end up making yourself very ill or worse with the way you're living your life at the moment.

    Love and encouragement to you :l:h

      The NHS is drowning in alcoholics, it's not surprising they can't see you immediately.

      There's lots of other help available. Charities such as Turning Point, services funded by local authorities and AA are all free, and there are plenty of paid-for services out there.

      You've done well going to the doctor but you need to take charge of your own life. You can get help today if you want to.

        hi all i need to pour my heart out....

        Hey Girly,
        I can only give you the advice that I wished someone gave me when I was at that point with panic attacks/booze 10 yrs ago and I haven't had one attack since. Take things in baby steps, you cant take on everything at once it's insurmountable. What can I do today is good... Go for a little walk, make an appointment to see a Doctor or pour the rest of your grog down the sink it will make you feel better. Attack this on all fronts, leave no stone unturned eg learn about cognative thinking, teach your self meditation, see your doctor, learn the best meds for your body, eat well and implement exersise into your day. The human body was made to work, it gives you purpose, burns energy and diverts your brains attension. AND the big one, for me anyway.. AFFIRMATIONS; What ever you keep telling yourself will become reality. Smash your brain with positive thinking, set really small goals right up to life long goals and break them down into easily acheived segments. See yourself how you want yourself to be, tastse the tastes, smell the smells and live it in your mind it will become reality. Professional athletes use this all the time to become the worlds no. 1s. Failure is good, so it didn't work.. who gives a shit, every great acheivment has a hundred failures as it's predecessor. Take the enfasis off what you are trying to achieve, most diets fail cause there is so much enfasis on food its all you think about eg buying food, preparing food and eating food hmm what is the chance of a slip up here? Do things for other people, get out of the train of thought that its all about you, others need you to be your best and to give them a hand up. No-ones got life sussed, some people are just better actors then others. Love and be loved Girly. Hope this helps, Trav.

            The journey is the goal. As long as you're fighting the good fight and you're not giving up on giving up, you're winning. It's not about how often you get knocked down, it's about how often you get up again. Sobriety the goal for sure. But striving to get to that goal is what it's about. Not getting there. Because the journey never ends. The journey is the goal.

              hi all i need to pour my heart out....

              hi all, i'm around.

              after a booze filled weekend, i sat with my mam and sister today and rang the alchohol team who are going to start me on a programme. there is a short waiting list of 1 to 2 weeks, so i'm just going to have to abstain or cut back and try to stay positive until then.

              i'm going to keep a drinks diary and a mood diary from today, hopefully that will help when deciding which course of treatment i need.

              thanks to you all for the advice, all great as usual. i know i'm always posting here in crisis and yet you lot are always so good to me. like my signature says, i'll die trying!

                  Girly,

                  Is that a home detox or something like that?

                  Good for you for keeping plugging away and asking for help.
                  It's great that you've got the support of your family too.

                  Onwards and upwards!
