I'm about ready to unsubscribe from this thread. I can go to any bar on any day of the week and watch as some woman gets drunk and whores around... there is a reason I don't though... I find those skanks repulsive. I don't need to invite them into my home to read about them on here.

Enjoy your life as well as whatever problems you encounter.

I know how you feel, oneguy. What else can anyone possibly say? The ball is in her court.

justme005 · Feb 17, 2008, 10:25 PM

Everyone.

So? How's the head this morning? Stomach?

Is today the day you're going to get help?

Cheshire2008 · Feb 18, 2008, 10:15 AM

Just me
You have been discussing this since January and you still have not spoken to anyone.
We are just a board You need a live fesh and blood sponsor. The rest of your life is waiting. You need to take action not tomorrow not maybe you need to do this. We cannot sit here and watch you slip over and over and say it is OK. What are you afraid of?
The council you seek is in front of you. Talk to someone let them in. they will show compassion. No one will think less of you I promise. I am sure they will want to help as much as we have all wanted to help you.

OK folks.. I did something rite for a change. I told my advisor. It was weird and scary but I feel better... he's like, why did you want to tel me? And I was like I think it be a god idea to talk to someone and I was told to do so by some friends. So he's like don't drink tonight.. try and stop and check for red flags. Such as, not lseeping, shaking, heart racing. He wants to check bak in w. me on Friday after class. You think this was an OK idea? Even though he's my teacher and advisor he's easy for me to talk to and stuff... and it's a way for me to vent to someone in person.

OK I haven't eaten today and its 7:30pm... holy god. I got to get on that!

Thank you all!
YOU ROCK!

It's a start and see it wasn't so bad. Now you need a professional who can help you with your problem someone who has experience. I hope you will pursue this and be as honest as possible
Best wishes

justme005 · Feb 18, 2008, 06:23 PM

What you mean professional? He is a professional therapist... hopefully I work things out. I do have alcohol in my fridge though and I was told not to drink tonight... this will be a challenge

Cheshire2008 · Feb 18, 2008, 06:26 PM

What kind of therapist is he? There are many different kinds and they have different specialtys.

Rockabilly1955mama · Feb 18, 2008, 06:27 PM

Yes, I do agree. I think you should seek some professional help as well. All in all, I wish you the best of luck with your addiction. And if I were you, I would throw that alcohol out.

justme005 · Feb 18, 2008, 06:51 PM

Have you thought about going to AA meetings?

Fr_Chuck · Feb 18, 2008, 07:02 PM

At an early stage of stoping, having it anywhere in the house, as a challenge is seriously dangerious, there should not be any in the house and you can call and talk to someone, if you feel like going out to get it.

Please consider a AA program with experienced drinking couselors.

justme005 · Feb 18, 2008, 07:23 PM

I see... I haven't opened the bottle yet so...

Rockabilly1955mama · Feb 18, 2008, 07:25 PM

But do you still have alcohol around you?

justme005 · Feb 18, 2008, 07:53 PM

Yehhhh...

I was just thinking about this... can my advsor get me in toruble since he knows I'm not 21... he said he thinks it will be OK but he has to check some legal issues first.. I don't know what this means.. now I'm scared.. maybe this was a bad in idea.

justme005 · Feb 19, 2008, 04:54 PM

My throat is so sore... but a weird sore.. like I'm not sick... I'm just tired, not eating and have a slight headache. Cold coming on? Ahhhhhh! Lol

J_9 · Feb 19, 2008, 06:50 PM

How long has it been since you had a drink? Now tell truthfully.

susangpyp · Feb 19, 2008, 07:15 PM

It sounds as if you are starting to have trouble drinking and it's only going to get worse. You really need to read up on alcoholism and see if you fit the profile because social drinkers don't really black out. Go to a few AA meetings and identify, don't compare. It's only going to get worse so be careful.

J_9 · Feb 19, 2008, 08:24 PM

Apparently you are not ready for help yet. We have tried until we have beat our heads into a brick wall, yet you don't listen.

This is going to sound harsh, and yes, I mean it to be. We have tried here to help you, but you need more help than we can give.

Either sh!t or get off the pot. By that I mean either get help or don't it's your choice.

Some people have unsubscribed from this post because they are tired of giving you advice and you not taking it.

Be a drunk if you want, get kidney failure, cirrhosis of the liver if you want. We have tried, but you don't listen.

Is it a joke to you? Are you playing us? Are you having fun? Or is this a real problem? Do I smell a troll?

This is post 180 and you have done nothing to help yourself, but we have taken our time to help you. What more do you want from us? We can't come to your house and pour out the liquor, put out the joint... that is something you have to do.

So, again, tell us... what more do you want us to do? The decision to keep drinking or stop is yours, and yours alone. There is nothing more we can do for you.

THE BALL IS IN YOUR COURT!!
