I’m an alcoholic I need help!!

[Buckeye Fever]

Not necessarily. I've watched "functioning alcoholics" who were initially using it as a coping mechanism every now and then gradually increase their intake and slowly kill themselves. One I saw bleed out from accumulated liver damage which was horrific. I'm glad op is strong enough to realize and recognize the warning signs at this point.

Yeah, it used to only be a social thang for me.

Now, I dont need to be around ppl to drink. I might buy a 5th and it will last me for a while because I'd just take a shot and put it back up

A lack of discipline starts with Larry. Estrogen flourishes in weakness This is the first hurdle you must overcome.

Even if you can't commit to outpatient or intensive outpatient treatment, still try to get an evaluation done, so you know where you stand and you know where to start.

I professionally and personally would never recommend doing it on your own, trying to figure it out/fix it yourself, and even walking into an AA meeting and such is kind of that same path.

To me without a proper diagnosis and recommendation it'd be like saying "Starting today I'm gonna get in shape!" And not weighing yourself, not measuring your biceps, chest, stomach, waist, thighs, not knowing how many pushups and squats you can do in a row, not know how fast you can run a mile.

Sure you could start and train but just knowing you need to change isn't enough. You have to have a firm starting point and know what the next goal is.

The pandemic turned it from a “social” thing to a “ coping” thing.ever Since I’ve see it having an effect on me. I feel proud when I’m able to go days without it. But end up slipping

If you feel like you need help that that's what it is. But when you drink do you over do it? How much do you drink when you do so and what happens when you do?

My mind torments me

 

[boriquaking]

Find something else to use as a crutch that isn’t harmful to your body.

maybe get on anxiety medication.

talk to a therapist.

Alcohol is a poison

 

[Wildhundreds]

Talk to someone... Seriously.. Letting that shyt out helps..

 

[Mowgli]

The verbal abuse from my stepfather is what started my anxiety. (This started 25 years ago) I try to pretend I’m tough but my thoughts torture me. I know there are people living a worst reality than a
I am but It is torture. My mind torments me

Stop trying to get people to feel sorry for you brother and just start exercising your body is weak and it affects everything that you do and say.

You get a courtesy bro hug for the road, now go. The more pity you read the more you're going to enjoy reading it and that's going to make you act more pitiful

It’s pressing, and it’s serious, but you gonna be around for a long time breh. So you got time breh. Take your time. When you think that you bout to go back, give yourself a strong No, just the one time. Think bout how you feel and what you did when you chose to be sober. Start from there. Try to keep that going. In a meantime, have a talk with your lady or whoever need, and let them know what’s up fr. If you can find somebody you can reach out to when you don’t feel strong enough to tell yourself no.

Just be honest tho breh. With yourself, and the people around you.

It's not all that. To move forward and work through whatever is holding him up, he has to acknowledge it, he has to admit it. Just pretending shyt doesn't bother you or didn't happen or already happened and is over isn't a resolution.

If he hasnt fully disclosed to his wife his feelings toward his step dad or the things he did or said, that's a bubble or a rift in his relationship with his wife, she may ask him about it and he may lie, or just omit it, but he's not transparent with her about it. And now that he has his own seed coming, he's going to to operate differently because of that. He may in turn spend so much time trying not to treat his own child like his stepdad treated him that it affects the relationship.

You need Cognitive behavior therapy, possibly a SSRI or maybe Wellbutrin, I know it helps folks stops smoking and most definitely weed.
