I need help

[Poodlefanforlife]

I drink on the weekends with friends. I can’t seem to control my limit. I wake up the next day feeling not only physically unwell, but mentally too. I’m so embarrassed about what I said or did the night before. I want to quit drinking but idk where to start to get help.

This is my story as well. I started drinking when I was 16. I drank a lot until I turned to 30. Now I'm 36. Lately, I used to drink over the weekends only but the whole night. The next morning I forget everything whatever happened the last night. I got embarrassed so many times because of my activities after drinking too much. Drinking has also worsened my anxiety which has turned into mild depression. I'm on Prozac now and sober for last 2 months. I'm feeling much better. But the thing is I'm still not sure if I'll live the rest of my life as sober or not

Thank you for sharing your similar experiences. If there’s anything we can do to support eachother or communicate before we drink and remind ourselves to take it easy.. I would really like that.

Do you want to live the rest of your life sober? If you do, there are ways to accomplish it. For now, concentrate on not drinking just for today. It’s not as overwhelming.

If you want to deal with your problem with alcohol, getting in to a support group would give you more back up. They can teach you what you need to know and it’s a great way to start. I meant to reply to Poodlefanforlife , not myself. 😊
