Welcome :)

I just want to die right now! I’ve been thinking about it all day and have relapsed with drinking vodka. I’m so angry at myself!

Please call 988 and ask for help.

You are a wonderful person

Please get help

in reply toIncognitoC

I’m not a wonderful person!!! I’m guilty for giving my son a bad life of addiction because of ME!!!

We have all done things that we regret. I am a recovering addict, I lost everything and everyone. I ended up in prison through my addiction.

You have had a relapse, that’s ok! I got told that I could relapse at any time and 1 time is not the end of the world.

in reply toIncognitoC

I ended up in prison too!!! Why am I not getting It!!! I’m just so tired of being stuck like this!!!

I want you to get some help! Speak to your doctor or therapist if you have one. Call someone who you trust and tell them how you feel.

in reply toIncognitoC

I hate myself for not giving him a better life!!! It’s because of me that he is now suffering!!!

in reply to

What’s wrong with me!!!!????

Nothing!

in reply toIncognitoC

I’m sick!!! I tried to end my life several times during my life and I’m feeling the same now as I did last time I tried to end it. Somehow I survived but barely made it that last time!! I just wish I could have been a better mother to my son.

Unfortunately you can’t go back in time, what is done is done. You need to look at the future now. Ending your life will destroy him and everyone else in your life you don’t want to hurt him or everyone like that? No! Please call 988 and speak to them

in reply toIncognitoC

I am pretty sure that he hates me for giving him the addiction problem!! He doesn’t tell me that but I am pretty sure he feels that way!!!

my son is addicted and it’s all MY fault!!

IncognitoC in reply to

Well you need to help him get clean right??? You can’t do that if you’re not here.

in reply toIncognitoC

I can’t help him!! He has to help himself I know how it goes!!! I’m sorry but I’m just a complete mess of a human being

IncognitoC profile image
IncognitoC in reply to

I can promise you that if you end your life he will never help himself. You need to be there to support him as much as possible. You and I both know how hard it is to beat addiction so he can’t do it alone

in reply toIncognitoC

I know this!!

in reply to

I’ve been struggling for weeks now with this guilt!!!

IncognitoC profile image
IncognitoC in reply to

Guilt is a horrible thing to deal with

in reply toIncognitoC

I just wish I could go back in time and fix my life!!!

We all wish that I can assure you

Good. Then we are on the same page.

Relax now, take a deep breath. Calm yourself down.

Please call 988 if you’re really concerned that you will hurt yourself.

in reply toIncognitoC

I am

IncognitoC in reply to

I am here for you. I’m normally around most of the day and into the evening. Try to get some sleep or some rest.

in reply toIncognitoC

I just hate myself so much!!!

in reply to

I just wished that I was a better mother!!

in reply to

And it’s funny because I actually have asked him about this and he said that I was a good mother but I know that he is just saying that!!! I’m so broken it’s not funny!!!

IncognitoC in reply to

Listen to him! It’s your anxiety and depression that makes you feel bad. He obviously loves you.

IncognitoC in reply to

The hardest person to try to forgive is yourself.

Yes you’ve made mistakes, yes you’ve done things your not proud of.

Beating yourself up is not the answer, because you can’t take it back. It’s done. You need to learn to accept that your not perfect and try to forgive yourself.

in reply toIncognitoC

I don’t even know what to say or do anymore I’m just so broken.

IncognitoC profile image
IncognitoC in reply to

As I said before, try and relax and take some time.

Don’t let your emotions dictate what you’re feeling.

A lot of what you’re experiencing is probably because you have had a drink today. Alcohol is a depressant.

in reply toIncognitoC

I had plenty of drinks today!!! But if I get myself “Fixed” my son will not be fixed!!! I did it to him and I cannot forgive myself for it!!!!

in reply to

I’m sorry I bothered you!!! It’s not my intention!!!!

IncognitoC profile image
IncognitoC in reply to

I’m just glad I was here for you, don’t apologise for it.

IncognitoC profile image
IncognitoC in reply to

If you get yourself fixed then you can help your son get fixed, there’s no magic spell for that. He just needs his mum to support him.

in reply toIncognitoC

Thank you for your help!

And being there right when I needed it the most! I called the hotline! I also called an AA member! I’m going to get help !-Shay

Are you ok today? I followed the thread but didn't want to interrupt as you got some great support.

in reply toDolphin14

Hi I’m ok! I called the hotline! I also called Someone from AA ! I only drank one day! I got scared and then I became suicidal! The person was on with me for awhile and talked me down throughout the call! I didn’t tell them that I had a plan but I told them that I hated my life and that I am the reason why my son is addicted! I had been thinking for weeks of how I would do it and I was thinking of taking pills again and be gone but I didn’t tell him that either! The last time I tried to take my life I was found but had to be brought back to life and then placed on a ventilator in the ICU. I’m still extremely depressed but haven’t drank for several hours because I fell asleep. I’m just waking up and saw my message from you on my email! I’m going to try to get some help because I’m scared of losing my life very soon if I don’t get the help! Thank you for caring!-Shay

I'm very happy to hear you are ok. I'm glad you reached out for help.

I'm very sorry you are struggling with your issues as well as the situation with your son.

Are you on the drink free site here? Maybe that would be helpful?

Don't give up the fight. Keep reaching out for the help you need

in reply toDolphin14

Yes I have gotten on the Drink free site! I’ve just been struggling with my life for awhile now and it’s when I picked up the drinks yesterday that I got myself feeling worse!

in reply toDolphin14

I was going to meetings for awhile then stopped and started going downhill

in reply toDolphin14

I’m really sick right now and getting offline.
