sorry everyone, I know we've been ignoring the trolls but I can't let it go this time. I really need help and it's taken a lot for me to admit it

Now that is the sort of courage this thread is all about.

Hun, after what you have done over the last couple of days that troll is no problem

sorry I'm back into defensive mode.

I could have done the right thing tonight. I know I should stop drinking. I know I need to, I know I have to. I know it is killing me, I know I won't see my kids grow up if I don't stop I know that the reason I have pains in by back is because I drink too much and I am killing my liver. I know I am going to follow in the footsteps of my father to an early grave.

so why can't I stop?

!!!!!! WHY?

You have taken the first step hun, you know you have to stop. Nobody expects it to happen overnight

Thank you. But I admitted to myself a long time ago I need to cut back on the drink. I'm just to weak to do it.

I wish i was stronger, if I was stronger I wouldn't be in this mess now.

Why? 'cause it's hard that's why. The only way you can stop is by admitting to yourself that you have a problem, and also by dealing with it. No one else can do that for you. Once you realise that, you will get so much support from this thread. Hope to hear from you again soon

I know I have a problem OMG I know to the very bones in my body that I have a problem, I also know I need help but I don't know how or where to go for that help.

My family are miles away. my doctor is busy and my inlaws would see this as a reason to take my kids away from me

I have to say that as a poster of the origional thread, as well as this new thread, I'm absolutely thrilled at the support of other MSE members. I had no idea that so many people followed or read the thread. I'm also really thankful that Glad has acted so promptly to other members that were out to cause problems for us. Thank you. To anyone wanting advice, just ask!!

OK NSC,,


sorry to ask, but what makes you want to drink...?? is it : loneliness ,: boredom ,a lack of freinds/social life..feeling unwanted/taken for granted.. debit, depression...or worry ??

Its so easy to become addicted to something which, at the time " numbs" the outside world,and gives you that warm , couldnt give a damn feeling. but as you already realise... Everythings the same the next day, only you feel like !!!!.....
The cycle begins again... But in the middle of it before you get that next fix..you look at your children, and you worry, because you know that what your doing, means that you may not see them grow up, get married, and start to grow old..

Im not going to lecture you, or anyone else, and its easy for people to say you have to decide yourself, if they havent experienced your feelings and cravings..


Good Luck to you all, I know what your going through,

Someone else on this thread said that to me in a PM not so long back. I don't agree TBH. You have found the strength to post here, you do have strength, it is finding it and using it that is so hard.

I'm sorry can't help much but I know that the thread regulars will be able to.

If it is any comfort I'm thinking of you. (((((((((big hugs))))))))
