Alcohol self help thread II

jayne.doe

i think the strangest thing for me at the moment, (keep saying that coz i dont know what will happen) is to go into my local sommerfield and not feel ashamed at the amount of alcohol i have in my basket, compared to everyone else!!! I went in one day and the cashier who i know, said thats a lot of wine and cider, i could of dropped through the floor:). Or going into asda drunk at 11pm buying more drink. Trying to look and act sober and probably failing miserably. I would love to see the cctv footage of me then:)

Done that jayne, the local shop used to know me and I actively used to buy drink at different shops, so no one would know, which of course they did.

It does feel nice not to worry about that now.

I think you are doing great Al, I want to be like you soon. I tend to not count the days anyway now, not like I used to, but I do have some idea.

ive done that i felt so bad. I had drunk so much vodka i dont remember how much. o/h thought he would have to call ambulance i couldnt stop being sick, i think i came close to alcohol posioning. I passed out and I never got up for half the day. didnt take them to see father xmas or watch them open their presents. You dont get that back. I think i might need some meds What do you ask for they arent anti=depressants are they. ? I dont want to go back on those ever:o

hey jayne, good for you for admitting it. it's hard to pass over stuff like that, and to stop feeling guilty, but now it really is about the future. my doc prescribed diazepam to basically send me to sleep and to deal with the withdrawal. talk to your doc and see what he/she recommends for you. i wouldnt go down the a.d. road either but: whatever it takes consider if it will help in the long run.
darn it i only passed by for a look and now ive posted again

thank you i feel a lot better tonight so gonna try to hold off from diazepam and other meds was v low last nite and i just feel a lot better now. I think i was just so stressed and trying to deal with stress sober it was weird. I will tho definately take your advice if it continues. thankyou:)

A couple of the shop assistants in my shop used to reach towards the voddie when I got to the till:o I used to use different shops, stop in laybys to put the bottles in different bins:o Sad really, not a great advert for the human race:rotfl:

If you've posted before, post again, we don't care what you have done, we want to hear where you or your partner is today.

We try not to judge, but, most of us on here will tell you the real deal, no fancy words.

Hiya :hello:

Yes some will know me from the past. I've continued reading the thread, but kept quiet. So nice to see you out and about again though Beer. Recent events prevent me from posting further though. Soo glad you continue to do well Al, I really am, you absolutely have no idea. Hope AC continues to do well also.

Bye for now Westy x

The buying of booze from different shops seems to be very common amongst problem drinkiers. I knew all the offies in Kingston, and one in Surbiton which would serve me at 6am. When I finally stopped, all the owners said that they were glad for me - except one who said that I should just have one can a day. If I could only have one, then I wouldn`t have needed to quit.
Keep up the good work everyone.

Morning

Suffolk don't you ever sleep? Surbiton, thats where Margo in the good life lived, isn't it. Is it still the leafy surburb from TGL?

Hi Westy, don't know whats stopping you posting, but I will find out

Something to think about. In bed this morning, DD comes in with us. After half an hour in the dark of constant talking, I say "I don't think someones going to go to sleep again"........... ......... "I'm not either" pipes up DD.

She has a small sore spot on her face, usually she's the big girl, who doesn't want looking after at all, she does the looking after her dollys. But this morning in bed she must have been feeling a bit funny, because she asked for some cream for her face, then leant against me and said "Daddy you will look after me won't you"

Sorry to bring my personal stuff into the thread, but its important to me to remember why I'm struggling.
