    sick and tired

    hello :new:

    well here I am. it's 11.30am in the uk and I have already drunk half a bottle of wine. i should be at work but i just couldn't do it. anxiety is crippling me. i so much want to be healthy and happy. i am sick and tired of being sick and tired! i am hoping that MWO can be my lifeline for breaking my addiction and destructive behaviour. i have been drinking every night since i can remember. minimum 1 bottle of wine a night but to be honest i always have a back up bottle of wine.

    i have been doing lots of reading here and you all seem such lovely people and i really admire your strength in beating the demon drink, i hope i have the strength. will post more later but i am so tired.

    Hi Hope! Welcome to MWO!

    This site and the people on it can be a wonderful support but you're going to have to do the work yourself. Have you seen a doctor about your anxiety and drinking? That is probably the first step. Call and make an appointment. The second step is getting rid of all the alcohol in the house.

    Keep reading and posting. We're here for you.
    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.

      Thank you siren for replying

      I am on ADs for my anxiety. I have an alcohol counselling appointment scheduled for next month. Baby steps.

      It is a lovely sunny day here and I don't even have the energy to get dressed .I woke up this morning with such terrible anxiety that I had to have a drink. Now I am just numb. But I know self medicating with alcohol is so so stupid. I really am on a slippery slope. I can't eat, I can't do anything to be honest. I have also become reclusive in the last month. I have a great job, a lovely house and supportive friends and family but I will lose everything if I don't deal with the demon.

            :welcome:
            I like your name...there IS hope for the future! I can identify with what you are going through...completely. My life (outwardly) looked great! What reason could I possibly have had to drink 12+ beers every single night? You know, I still don't know the answer to that, but I do know that I have been able to adjust my thinking and my attitude, and now I am thankful that I DON'T HAVE TO DRINK anymore!!! You can do it too....I look forward to seeing you in the Nest!

                  Hello Hope4thefuture, Welcome to MWO. You have taken a huge step coming here; the first step in your journey to become sober and free! When I was at my worst I was drinking 1 to 2 bottles of wine a night plus many times a 3rd of a bottle of Gin! I would suggest you see a dr as soon as u can.He may prescribe medication for u that will help. Come over to our newbies nest. There are llots of people there just like you and at varying levels of becoming sober. You don't need to be alone on this.Good Luck:l
