    Lost

    I'm so lost at the moment i'm sober atm and the reality of the horrible situation i'm in has kicked in. The guilt and shame I feel is overwhelming. I've broke my parents hearts none of my friends are talking to me. I lost my job yesterday after only 3 days there by getting drunk in the toilets n blacking out. I wandered home off my face in full view of the neighbours. I never been this low in a long time n i worry i cant get past this. I feel alcohol is all iv got left even tho im well aware that its got me in this situation. God am a mess

      You say you're so lost at the moment so why not use My Way Out as a sanctuary in the storm? We're all here for you. We can help at least by listening and reaching out to you. Nothing is beyond repair though you feel so low right now. Keep talking and we'll keep listening. Many of us have been in what seemed like impossbie situations and got out of them. Whatever you might think Al is not the answer to any of your problems so don't even let that thought anywhere near you. Stay sober until it's time to take the next first step in your new life.
      Keep talking.

        Your parents' hearts may be broken but they will always love you. Your friends at MWO will always talk to you. Don't give up - you can re-build your life, this time without alcohol.
        Well it's all right now. I've learned my lesson well. You see you can't please everyone, so you've got to please yourself.

          What a great honest post. Can I suggest getting to a doc asap and talking to them about your addiction?
          If drinking is interfering with your work, you're probably a heavy drinker. If work is interfering with your drinking, you're probably an alcoholic.

              My parents were pissed at me for sooo many things over the years. They are your parents and they will get over it. If not, it does not have to end your world.

              Jobs, meh they can come and go. You must be young at least that's what I get if you are worried about your folks. Mine were so proud when I told them I was an alchy.

              Friends come and go, too. People can be as flaky as dandruff.

              Go to a doc, counselor, what have you and tomorrow can be the start of the rest of your life. Won't be that easy but things will get better.

              Did you kill someone in a DD accident, lose your family, end up homeless? Not trying to be mean but there are folks out there that really hit rock bottom and of course that's necessary to get clean for some folks.

              Hang in there champ and you will conquer it. The fact you are here means you know you have a problem and you are ready to face it.

                      I went 9 days without al but the past couple of days iv been secretly drinking. I went into town yesterday completely drunk n passed out in the shopping centre. I woke up in hospital n got agressive with the nurses. I'm so ashamed of myself. My family cant even look at me this morning. I hate myself:-(

                        Morning cuddle demon :welcome:

                        Well done on your 9 days alcohol free - what an achievement! Did you do it on your own, or get some support?

                        Can I gently remind you that here you are among friends. You have taken the first steps towards being free from alcohol and you can do it. I've reposted jackieclaire's advise which includes local help too, just incase you haven't reached out to anyone else yet. I personally would recommend the newbie nest - just jump in and introduce yourself. Everyone is in the same boat. Keep in touch Hun xxx

                          I had some help with neca. I've been going there on and off for a few years. I have no idea what made me drink the other day when I was doing so well. Maybe i conviced myself I was cured and got to cocky I'm a strange one

                            Ha! Not so strange...! My mind plays that trick on me too. You hit the nail on the head when you said you convinced yourself you were cured. Run that one past folk around here & they'll nod and say...yup, been there!!

                              Morning, Cuddle! Alcoholism is a disease. Would you hate yourself if you had diabetes and forgot an injection? Would you hate yourself if you had kidney disease and needed dialysis? No, probably not.

                              Hating yourself leads to depression which, in my case anyway, leads to more drinking. Shake it off, pick yourself up, and start again. You had 9 days AF - that is beyond terrific. You can do it again.

                              You say that you're odd for thinking you were cured after 9 days so thought you could drink again. That is not odd at all, and we talk about it so often here on the forum. It leads me to think that maybe you have not been reading here as much as you could be. Do yourself an favor and start reading as much as you can here. I'm sure you will find lots of folks whose experiences will hit home.

                              Also, when you feel the need to secretly drink (do you really think you're keeping that secret?) come to the Nest and tell us about it. Post there before drinking and we can help with strategies for doing ANYTHING but drinking.
                              Well it's all right now. I've learned my lesson well. You see you can't please everyone, so you've got to please yourself.
