Hi all, my partner will never have me back, the only thing I know how to block these feelings is to drink, I don't want to but it's all I can think of doing, thanks to all of you who have been supportive, you are truly amazing, so I'll probably check in on the odd occasion xxx

No, please don’t. You’ll kill yourself if you go back to drink. Your daughter loves you and needs you (to be sober). I have been really low and not cared if I lived or died but, by God, as someone who has come out the other side all I can say is, stick with it . Your daughter is being a real star. Do you want the guilt/shame when you see the disappointment in her eyes? Really? Stay determined, stick with it. You know we are here for you,

Isabelle

Hi Jeff. Don't try to block the feelings especially not by drinking you know that is not the answer. You have to face up to the feelings of your situation and deal with them sensibly and coherently. That is what I believe you need professional help with. Please see your doctor to help you arrange 1 to 1 councelling or residential rehab.

Let me know how you get on and not that you've ignored all the advice you're being given again.

Thank you FAITHFULL,your message made me smile too.its funny how someone can have the same humour .still I hope he is ok ,I know what you mean though some do want pitying but I think it's because inside they know they are very sad and cannot deal with their own feelings .Needing much help though they need to get proper expert help .Their are so many cutbacks even that's hard as with mental health the 2 go hand in hand I believe. You have to fight for what you feel you need to do OBVIOUSLY that's the hard part. Xx THANKS for your message, hugs back .Take care 😁😁

Hi love, you have to do it for yourself. That's all you can think of in these situations, it's almost impossible to consider other people. You are what matters right now. I've been there probably 100's of times myself. You know deep down it will only make you feel far worse, it's just a quick fix for a few hours. It's the enemy love, not your friend or your saviour. You're a lovely person, people (including us) would miss you terribly. We're here for you regardless xx

Foxman!! I’ve only just seen this so you’ve probably gone out and done it anyway. The other day you were so PROUD that you had done 11 days. Focus on how that made you feel. Ok so you’ve slipped up today, get back on that wagon again tomorrow and don’t let one person be your excuse for not trying to stay alive. You are better than that. You’ve got to want it for yourself and get all the help that is available to you Ok lecture over. Take care

Hi foxman. Life is hard. Everyday can be a problem to get through. Pity parties are easier where we feel we can't change things. The trouble is they don't really help either. They make us more lonely. They make us feel worse about ourselves and make us turn to things that are not really any good for us and make us worse. Mine is comfort food. I stress and I eat. I eat the wrong things. That helped get me in the situation in now in. I've lost some weight and my liver started improving. I got stressed and started back down the slippery road again. I'm fighting again to improve my diet. It isn't that I don't know what to do it is that coping with so many things is hard. Fighting all the time is hard. Trouble is I don't like the me I see in the mirror and the comfort eating makes me dislike me more. How about we both work with everyone here and Take a day at a time trying to fight the things making us worse and only pretending they make us feel better.

Take care

Keep making brews (tea) and go to bed early. Thats what I did. 4 months off for me. Even went on holiday and no urge. Never thought I could have a laugh without it but you CAN! Keep going. If you are back on it, forgive yourself, dont dwell on it and dont drink today xxx

Foxman, 22 days ago you were having a go at me, saying “have I not got the right to grieve” now I have just read that your father died 17 years ago. Well my mother died coming up to 3 years ago, and the only way I can honour her memory is not to drink. You need help, but won’t go and get it. Only you can do something about this nobody else. As has been said do you really want to die, because that is exactly what will happen. Let me assure you it won’t be pretty, it will be a slow painful demise. Over the years I have heard your story from countless people. Unless you are willing to get some help and change, your life like some of theirs will go. It’s a sad statistic but it is the truth. Go see your GP, get referred to a rehab and grab that opportunity with every ounce of strength you can muster. Then and only then will you have a chance to stay clean and slowly regain the trust of your loved ones. When someone gets clean, you may have already done too much damage to your family, and not every story has a “happy ever after” ending. You have to start and start now, you have run out of excuses long ago, and just like me you want someone to listen to you and you have found this forum. Whilst people are extremely well intentioned with their encouragement, it actually isn’t helping you. I hope you read this and understand I want you to get well, but only you can do it.

Foxman, sometimes it's for the best. It took me a year to figure out that he was the messed up one, quit drinking and smoking and had a much better life without him. Someone new came along with a bigger heart and I never really felt I needed to drink anymore. Feel better and take care of you.

Hi I'm new on here so Hi everyone. I was drinking for about 30 years, I'm 52 this year. Alcoholic probably, thought I'd never quit the drink but all it took was your liver is getting damaged blood tests ultrasound Fatty Liver and enlarged spleen. Fibroscan 9.7kpa scarring blood tests coming down. I'll tell you what that was enough to sh*t me up I quit and there's NO fu**ing chance I will drink again. And of course there's the liver pain to remind me. I've lost alot over booze. Never Again.

Hi Foxman555. I was very addicted to booze I was drinking 7+ cans of Kestrel Super in the evening a nightmare. I've lost 2 marriages and countless relationships down to that poisan we call booze, Over the years I'll have a drink I'm happy today, I'll have a drink i'm pissed off. I'll have a drink for any reason, any excuse to drink climbing the walls if i couldn't drink. I've been reading your posts I've been there and you need to stop and stop NOW. If I can do it you can do it or you will lose everything, your life your daughter and grandkids. Is it really worth it? No. Get to your GP and get the help you need before it's too late. I have my kids and I'm very good friends with my first wife and they have supported me. So quit man for everyones sake!

Mark.

Foxman - at the beginning someone accused you of self pity and I defended you. Now, however, you ARE guilty of self pity and you are using that as an excuse to return to drinking. The addiction is doing that to you. DON'T LET IT! You are stronger than you know but you MUST get help. Why haven't you sought help before if you're serious about turning your life around?. We're all here for you but we're not sitting beside you holding your hand and that is what you need now. Love Carole

He would have got medical assistance with detox like what was mentioned in several posts but he didn’t. He isn’t strong enough to do it alone. It’s that simple. Drink = Death. He has made his choice and he knows the consequences of his actions. He is not ready to man up yet. This is really not the forum for him. If he ever is ready to learn then he knows where we are. In the mean time, do what you want to do Jeff.

Enough said!!!!

I don't think this is the right website for you.You need help to stop drinking.People who are suffering from liver issues (Some through no fault of their own) have taken the time to message you countless times.

You are full of self pity and obviously not strong enough to give up alcohol on your own.

You have already lost your partner and possibly your family all because you have no will power to say no to alcohol.

I wish you the best and hope you get the help you need but I don't think this website is place for you.

Hi Jojo.

I think there is a measure of frustration because of your previous reactions to any advice given to you. I guess people who have been where you are now and "been there, done that" feel they want to help you so very badly, hoping beyond hope you won't have to go through what they have.

Many of these people have and are going through the very worst time of their lives, but want that not to be the case for you. At the very least, listen, be a little grateful for the time and energy they are giving, of which they have short supply. In the end, it's not done to bash or criticise you, they genuinely want to help give you a shot of having a good, long, happy life. It really is what we all want for you. 😊

*Hug*

Spot on reply Caspiana. These people just don't get it. I actually find this descent in standards worrying. This forum is for people who are very seriously ill with some of the most horrendous symptoms and presentations, and also for their loved ones, who suffer equally if not worse than the patients, to get support and information. If, when I came out of hospital, I'd have seen page after page of "Sharon and Tracy" tearing lumps out of each other then I would've not bothered joining. I joined because I thought that I'd found somewhere where people did know what I went/am going through and they were friendly and helpful. That is what this forum is for - not a foul-mouthed catfight. Take care

RESIDENTIAL REHAB JEFF. Give your daughter a break while you are taught how to stop drinking. You've proved you can't do it alone. Come back to your daughter with all the tools you will have learnt about how to beat it and gain self respect and she will respect you in return. Stop being so damn stubborn !!!
