Well, I think you have to decide if you want to. You don't seem too happy relying on the alcohol. Why not try some healthier ways of coping than that???

Kass,I depended on Alcohol in my earlier years,but sometimes and it will,take over and you wont be able to feed your habit.its tough,but its best that you decide and it has to come from within----otherwise you will have health problems ,social /relationships,its not a happy time being dependent--I know that-its a depressant,meaning you will always need more,upliftment then downer,and so on

I’m in recovery. Are you doing zoom meetings? Some are open. You need to talk to another alcoholic. For us.. alcohol is a liar, a taker and it will kill us. Don’t believe the lies alcohol tells you.

im always around alcholics,ive tried to talk to other people and ive tried to change but for me its always ''this is my last drink'' but it never is

[Spooky99 in reply to kass1234]

That’s because your an alcoholic. Your believing the lie that it’s your last drink. Do you have a sponsor. The steps are the way to go!! We have the mental obsession and the physical allergy. I could go on and on. YOU have to want to be sober more then you want to F up your life Pm me if u want

As someone who's been there, I agree that yes, only you can change the habit of turning to a substance for relief of your pain (emotional, physical ect) but, you can't do it alone. Please find support in a medical community. If you're physically addicted to alcohol, you will definitely need medical support to stop, as well as mental health support to not relapse. Only when you are able to discover the root of why you turn to substances to mask your pain, will you start to free yourself of it. find support!

Wouldn't it be wonderful if alcohol actually did what we wanted it to do and took away our pain? But it doesn't work, does it? I suggest that you give something else a shot.

I have had a rough few months and use alcohol to help me cope, but it did not work. I felt hopeless, like I was in a dark pit and there was no escape for me. Finally I called a MD and he prescribed a medication that helped my anxiety in a way alcohol simply cannot do. Had I only known that one pill at night could stop the pain.... and interestingly, it is a blood pressure medicine whose side effect is reducing anxiety.

Call a doctor.

How are you doing with the drinking? I can help you. Alcohol makes us very depressed first off. It doesn’t fix a thing and makes things worse! It gets easier in time. I know so many people who died from this. Alcohol is not your friend. Trust me!
