I am trying to quit drinking I try every few days but then I end up drinking it is taking over my life. I don't drink every day but when I do drink I am drinking way too much much I'm blacking out. I'm also mixing drugs with drinking. I Do and say things I normally wouldn't. The guilt and anxiety now after drinking is crippling. I don't even want to leave the house. I need some help but I can’t seem to stop.

Find something that keeps your mind busy, a friend or job or anything, I’ll be happy to support you through this process as I feel I’ve conquered that part of my life

This was me for a very long time...and it makes me sad to think anyone else is going through it too. It's awful. I got to my worst the night of my birthday, I thought, and drove. I didn't remember driving or where I went and ended up home alone with drugs. I knew I needed to reach out for help. A few days later it got a little worse and I did reach out, hoping to hear back the next day. I didn't, and went out that afternoon again. I arrive again too, not planning on staying out. Later that night I ended up being arrested. Fortunately I got stopped at a point where I wasn't driving, or it could've been a lot worse...but it included a drug possession charge that's a felony. Needless to say, that became the final breaking point. I share that story in hopes that maybe it'll encourage you to get help before your story goes that far. You may be like a lot of us and just can't stop on your own. Most can't, and that's OK. For a lot of reasons, it's better to sto0 with help, quite frankly. It's not easy, but it's so worth it!!

Have you tried Alcoholics Anonymous?
It works for me and I was the same way. God how I hated waking up wondering what the heck id said the night before. That was horrible.
I don’t live that way today.

This was me 28 days ago. If I have one then it was eight easily. If I took a night off from drinking, honestly was barely ever, all I did was think about tomorrow when I did drink. For me it was changing the habit, finding something else to drink instead. I’m trying everything too, but Arnold palmers are my favorite. I laid it all out to God also. I’m not saying it’s easy but I’m finally starting to feel healthier, and it’s worth it. I was on the brink of losing everything because I would say and do things a sober me never would.
