Lost my job and my license, dui, yet I continue to drink to stop the anxiety and embarassment. The drinking is only makin...

Happy New Year Tosh! I still come here to remember where I started. I was an alcoholic anxiety-ridden wreck! Today I am 6 yrs 6 months sober! Your words early on helped me a great deal, you said "if you drink things will get worse, if you don't drink you would be able to figure things out" I had a l...

The alcoholic has to realize this deep down within. He/She can't continue like this any longer. Once we hit that zone, we will be resurrected. Until then we will be fighting this war on our own. Thats the tragedy of this disease. That is exactly what happened to me. I woke up one Sunday morning and...

I could use some help and support but I'm worried about being judged. What can I do? How can I trust people I've never met! Hi Valerie, Each of us was once where you are now, we don't judge, we understand. Tell us about yourself, if you feel comfortable. We are here to help each by sharing our expe...

Welcome back Feeya. You can do this, keep in the forefront of your mind this feeling One of my closest friends past away on Sunday. I wasn't able to say goodbye because I was drunk and asleep while they rushed him to the hospital. That must never ever happen again. At 4 1/2 yrs sober, I still replay...

Hello emeraldg, Consider assisted living facilities. I wish I had, after my mother moved in with me, my stress and anxiety went thru the roof, she too was very demanding of my time and attention, even though I had a husband and 2 very young children. Eventually our relationship deteriorated and I be...

Congratulations on 24 hrs! I felt the same way at my 1 st meeting, like coming home! We are all in this together, one day at a time is how I got here, 4 yrs sober. I didn't think it was possible, I have never been happier in my life. Stay close to the program, you too will be amazed before you are h...

I think the universe has decided to cut me off before I kill myself or someone. I felt the same way after my 2nd dui, I thank God every day I was stopped before I hurt anyone. I have read so many horrific stories about those who weren't as lucky as you and I to be stopped before we hurt or killed s...

Congratulations Tosh, what a wonderful day! I'm so happy you for you! Thank you for all the help you gave me when I got here, you told me early on "if you pick up a drink things will just get worse, if you don't you'll sort this out", I hung onto those words whenever I felt like giving up cause I fe...
