Help

I just received my first DWI. I was having a horrible day and I drank before I went to work. I then drank a little more at work and I drove home. I blew a .22 and I was arrested. I admitted to my parents that I was an alcoholic but now I’m filled with anxiety and guilt and I can’t sleep and I’m so anxious all the time.

Hey we all make mistakes. The good news is the anxiety is there to help you. You feel guilty. Forgive yourself.

Maybe you can do sowmthing like a program. And have a plan that if you think you will drink you can call parents or bus home or cab or even walk.

I’m sorry you had a horrible day. I hope you can find a more fit activity when having a bad day like run or push-ups or eat a whole cake? You get my means.

Some times we have a wakeup call. It helps us because it can lead us to a better path of better days.

Ya we can change that’s the cool thing.

Don’t be too hard on yourself. Easier said than done but life is too short and when we make mistakes we need to just forgive ourselves and move on. And hey I don’t blame you for drinking either it sure makes me feel better too when I’m upset. But I know it also makes me feel a lot worse and depressed when the high feeling passes. At the end of the day it’s you who’s going to make the decisions you want. I’m not going to tell you not to drink, just maybe be safe about it next time is all I can say. If you want to stop maybe get a friend to help you or a professional. In the meantime, I would suggest making a tea, putting on your favorite movie, and trying your best to enjoy the rest of the night. You shouldn’t feel guilty or ashamed. We’re all human

I know that this is something you probably hear way too often, but here goes...The good news is that you are still young and have time to make changes to your life. You should be so proud of yourself for reaching out to your parents; that could not have been easy at all! Like others have said, we ALL make mistakes, especially in our younger years (I am 50 now). Be patient with yourself and, more importantly, FORGIVE YOURSELF. You are human, just like all of us.
