gs9, good for you. You CAN do this, and we'll all be here to support you. That change alone will be the perfect 180.

I was already not drinking. I've drank a couple times over the last month but it is really something I can not do. The drinking me is not a man only a fool would leave.

I'm hurting today. I don't want to "sit in my pain" any more. I don't know how to deal with it though. I've never learned how to deal with emotional pain in a healthy way. I'm trying

had another thought. Now the WXW knows I'm struggling. I haven't let her know in anyway lately how hard this is on me. I'm not sure if this is good, bad or indifferent for the cause

Get help, buddy. You might have an addiction. The hard part is asking for help. I'm an addict. Go to weekly meetings now.

Maybe you already told us, in that case, sorry. Addictions are serious stuff.

gs9, we all hate to sit in this pain. It's the worst, the absolute worst. I've never felt so bad in my life. WXW may know you're struggling, but that's not the impression she will be left with. Let her see you overcoming this and being strong again. Then come on here and we'll help hold you up when you need it. Just as you'll help hold us up.
It's the worst, but let's help each other, all of us. That's why we're all here.

Hey Trumpet. I definitely have an issue with alcohol abuse. I don't crave it daily but I have never learned to deal with my emotions and feelings. I have used things such as alcohol to escape my feelings. This is definitely something I need help with and have started getting help for. I don't think I need specific alcohol abuse help but more learning to deal with my feelings in a healthy manner.
