I am not doing well...

I am new to this chat room and I have only posted once before.  But I need some help.   I went to a comedy show Friday night and I had a glass of wine.  Well that set me off and I cant stop.  I have to work tomorrow and I need to pull myself end together.  I have been drinking all weekend and I need t stop.  Please someone give me advice as what to do...

Coming back here is a good start. If it were me I would just try to remember I am powerless over alcohol. I didn't like the results I got while drinking.

Good Luck.

We care about you. Please get some real world help. Physician, counselor, AA, treatment...whatever, but please do it now. Damn the cost. You need to know the truth from people who know this disease better than you do. Do it now....please.

Peace,
Rob

I second the two above posts, and would add this:  Pray for help.  Even if you don't believe in any kind of higher power in the universe, just close your eyes, take a deep breath and simply say, "Please help me" or "I need help", or even just "Help!"

(When you get further along, another nice quick simple prayer is "Please remove this obsession which threatens my sobriety".)

Please Please get yourself to a meeting.

Tell them what you just told us.

Reminds me of when I was drinking -

I had a job interview on a Friday (managed to not have a drink the Thursday night) - was offered the job later that Friday afternoon. Was SO pleased - Ah! yes! the beginning of a new you Louisa ........new job, you'll be happy then, no 'desire' or 'need' to drink as much...............

Turned up Monday morning with the hangover from hell - could barely take in a simple instruction.  I couldn't believe it had happened. Job did not last.

I am completely powerless over alcohol - it's never one - that first one destroys everything for me. Every time.

Lots of love to you,
Louisa xx

From the Karate Kid. Mr. Myagi said., there is no try, there is only do or not do.

Similarly I say to you, stop thinking and do.
