Positive Post....YOU CAN DO IT!
If you are not sober and looking to get clean.... Post up
I have caught some shaming from drinkers over the years for being sober but I have never shamed a Drinker for not being sober.
ph
You've been shamed for being sober? Obviously they are not real alcoholics.alcoholism is just as bad as being a junkie.maybe worse.I drink almost a 30 pack a day.I don't do it cause I like it.its cause I might die if I don't. I wish I never drank at all.but wtf can I do? There are no detox centers around me.so I have to drink or die.thanks A lot humans!

You have options shithawk whether you realize it or not...it breaks my heart to read things like this. I've been called irresponsible for discussing them here...so I wont. If deep down you want to stop...that is the first and foremost important thing...I recommend doing some research...sorry if this is vague...wish you the best man.
I've got 1 month on you mexicani-ar. Left my ex girlfriend April who coaxed me back into drinking in April of 2014.

You can beat it if you start at detox. Would you go out of your way to save someone's life? You can save yourself. What you describe reminds me very much of myself around this time last year. Why the heck won't anyone take you? Just get there somehow, buy a bottle and hitchhike if you have to.
Much respect to everyone in this thread.
Anything is possible.
Life is worth fighting for.
We love you all. You are loved!

shithawk, if you are ready for that detox you have to make it happen. Alcohol was never really my thing, but I've eventually quit a few other things, Cola, benzodiazepines, and opiates, 7,14, and 22 years worth of daily use for each. For each it took just getting sick of using it cause it wasn't really working anymore plus the feeling of being like a hamster on a wheel staying supplied and keeping track of the next batch. Hard to not be D.U.I or DWI when your always buzzed plus the other legal risks.
Hope you kick it, it sounds like you are close, is it something where you need to be driven for treatment several times regularly? There are drugs to help with withdrawl that would probably help. Myself I preferred to go cold turkey from a fairly high cliff, mostly because I wanted to smoke weed at home, and if it was bad I would be less inclined to repeat that experience. That's not recommended for alcohol, the cold turkey part, especially with a 30 pack a day habit, just giving a different perspective on quitting.
First step is the hardest unless you either get sick of it, sick from it, have legal problems, serious accident, or death of course. Some people will put up with those problems as well though, they just haven't what I call 'bottomed out" yet.
Not saying that's you shithawk, wish you the best on whatever you decide, don't let the alcohol industry take you out though, don't care for them at all, shits poison basically, have to disguise the taste just to use it.

ive detoxed self many times, my ex gf too, ween down the booze, like to 12 , to 6 , 3 , to zero the last day, get some xanax and hard turkey quit is an option and just sleep and sweat it out, ive xanax detoxed many times and it seems to be the easiest, so easy id drink sooner case detoxong wasnt hard, if ya want to quit ya can, i suggest 4 huge inhales of DMT vapor , its the best medicine ive ever had . it can cure addictions instantly, good look brother shawkmon or shithawkmon
thanks for all the support guys.last time i detoxed as soon as i got out i was around people drinking.not by chioce mind you.but as soon as i saw people drinking around me i flipped out.almost everyone i know are alcoholics so i had little chance.im against pills but i would be willing to try some if they would help.ive got basically no support or help outside of the internet world.my case is a very difficult one.it would take at least an hour to explain it and im simply to busy so i dont really know what to say,other than i appreciate the responses hear.i fear ive already done too much damage to my organs.i have one beer left and no money so ill probably go through dt's soon.believe me when i say i hate this.thanks guys
oh and shawkmon about the DMT,i think that would really scare the shit out of me.i did salvia once and i was scared shitless.i can barely handle weed these days as it makes me very aware of my current situation and just makes me scared of what is to come.but thanks.all suggestions are accepted.and hey,ive been meaning to ask you for years.what the heck is your avi shawkmon?im just curious

Damn shithawk, I'm very sorry to hear that, I said what I said only because of how impossible it seemed for me at the time. Withdrawals are terrifying, I hope you get what you need today and find a way to fix this for yourself. Just because I did it doesn't mean I think anyone can or can't or should be able to as well and all that crap. Everyone and every situation is different, all I can say is that you're going to have to do some major shit to dig yourself out.
My heart goes out to you, truly, I remember what its like, some real fuckin hard and shitty times man but I was lucky and I got out. AWS is no joke, can you go to the ER if things get bad?

thank you chronosync.if worst came to worst i could call an ambulance but all they will do is give me a saline iv and send me on my way in a couple hours.im leteraly in bumfuct egypt so to speak.i live in a 500 people town and the nearest hospital one of the worst in the country.they literally have nothing going for them.anyway i have no one else to blame for this really.my dad went to prison for pot and a bunch of other stuff and i hung around the older crowd.one time i had a doctors appointment and i told the older fucker i was hanging around i couldnt drink and he beat the shit out of me and poured a whole fith of jack down my throat and beat the shit out of me with fucking tree branches.so now i have ptsd and i drink to try and forget all the crazy shit ive been through.im older now but i still live in the past everyday.shits really hard and my dad and mom are assholes who are drug addicts and alcoholics themselves and make me suffer for there mistakes.ce le vie
Have you heard of baclofen? Lots of doctors are prescribing baclofen for alcohol addiction now. It stops withdrawal symptoms and lets you quit drinking cold turkey. Some people use it to quit drinking, then taper off the baclofen over a week or two. Some decide to stay on it for a while to prevent cravings and relapses.
When you think you are ready to put it all down you can just walk into a emergency room and say you want to be admitted and you need help.....let them figure it out the rest.
I f you are drinking and you want it to stop you are already halfway there.
If you don't think you can do it......You Can!
If you fell of the wagon once before......That's OK...Its a new day.
You deserve happiness because your worth it.

but thats the problem!i can go to the emergency room and they will let me go in a couple hours!ive done this before! i live in the middle of nowhere!i have to travel two hours to get to detox center.im not mad but you guys cant possibly understand. im alone almost 24,7 and when im not almost everyone i know has dui's and or fucked up.im leterally fucked.i cant even get to the fuckin store! im DOOMED!!
You can buy baclofen online and have it mailed to your house. Once you have it you can sober up enough to leave the house and see a doctor for a prescription, if you want to. I'd rather buy it on my own instead of going through a doctor.
Phenibut is also cheap and easy to find online. Switching from heavy drinking to phenibut cold turkey is painless. From there you can taper off the phenibut if you want 100% sobriety.
