    For the last time....

    Hi all, i actually registered here about a year ago, made promises to myself and others, then in the space of a year, have ****** it up countless times. This time is different. I logged back on about 9 days ago, got in touch with a member i used to lean on a year ago and said i was up for it this time. The reason i have not posted before now is i did not trust myself and was tired of my own promises. I JUST about still have my family, but have lost my job, money, so called friends and most peoples respect over recent times. 11 days ago i signed out of a Maltese Hospital with a head wound and bruised ribs. I cant remember much, but apparently i was near to death with Ethanol poisoning ( Malta use that term for alcohol). My wife picked me up, i got her to stop at the first shop, got 2 lagers and drank them on the way home. I had 5 or 6 more drinks, went to bed. I got up, took 2mg of diazepam (i have these prescribed for anxiety) then went cold turkey since, occasionally taking 1mg if i get really anxious, but thats a seperate issue, allbeit one that is not a fraction as bad now i'm off drink. I'm on day 10, out of work-but looking and just about able to function normally apart from the ribs...lol.
    Basically, NOW is when i need support. I didn't post because i didn't think i'd get this far.

    Here's looking forward, not backwards.

    ps-Thanks Jackie.

                  please help me, i'm so scared right now. My husband is sending me off to a rehab centre today, what will my kids do without me? i've been so damn good, it's been a slow and yes hard process over the last few years of eliminating drinking from my life so what the hell has happened over the last week thats made me go back to every stupid habit? A bottle of vodka a day, so flat and just despise myself for being so damn weak and having no control.

                    Maddie - sorry I'm just seeing your post this morning. Sounds like you won't be at your computer?? If you are, just please research the site, go to the "Just Starting Out" section on the first page, and post your story again. Some people might not find it here.

                    There is a section called Tools under the Monthly Abstinence tab on the front page that can help you also.

                    I am new here - 17 days AF, but there are people with much more experience who will respond to you if you'll ask for help. Some of them will find you here but posting again as a newbie in the section mentioned above will expose you to additional people who can respond.

                    I think the important thing is that you're here and that you're trying. It sounds like you had a good long time of being sober?? If so, you know you have the strength to get there again. There are many people having great success with anti-craving medications (see section on opening page of website). Just reading about it might enable you to figure out if it might be an option for you. Others here have had success with simple, holistic types of products like lemon water and L-Glutamine. (Holistic Healing tab on front page).

                    Hang in there - we are all in the same boat and are here to help if we can.
