I need support. I need someone to talk to, I’m sad and I feel like so bad about myself

Same here, I feel terrible
Take it easy on yourself, it’s not you, it’s the effect that this poison has on you. We’ve all been there, you’re worth it!

Thank you Melissa

Hold on to this feeling for as long as you can. I want you to remember what you're feeling right now the next time you want to drink. You keep believing the Big lie; that this time, everything will be OK. But it never is, is it?
We have to learn to play the scene forward. You might feel good for awhile but sooner or later you will be right back where you are right now, having to start all over, carrying more guilt, knowing you accomplished absolutely nothing.

It gets easier. The first days always suck. Alcohol withdrawal is rough. Reach out. The opposite of addiction is connection

You can do this… day 1 can be such a hard day but also a good one. One door closing and another opening… end to drinking and beginning of freedom.

Great advice..thank you
Thank you
I’m glad that you reached out for help on here. We’ve all been through this. You’re disgusted with your behavior, so you’re making a change. You should actually be really proud of that. It takes courage to start the change. You can do this and you will feel better about yourself.

So basically for as long as I can remember when I drank I woke up with horrible anxiety, hating myself, feeling like trash about myself. Now I’ve been 8 days sober. The last few days I feel significantly happier, so much less anxiety and seeing life and like the actual colors of the world. It’s amazing how just a little bit of time has helped me. I have some intermittent thoughts of my stupidity from 8 days ago, but it’s not consuming me. I’m not waking up feeling guilty for drinking or how I acted. I hope this helps maybe to help you know that things can get better 
even in just a short time it can change your feelings of yourself and life. Good luck!

Tia…yes a big help
We are here it’s how it works get to a meeting and listen !!
Alcohol will just depress you. Take some melatonin and get some rest or if you are too agitated to rest go for a walk or try to busy yourself with something positive that you like. Drink lots of fluids and eat if you can. The first few days suck, but it’s only temporary and will pass.

Thank you. Surprisingly I didn’t sleep horribly. Food has been a challenge as it nauseate me. At least this time around I am able to keep fluid’s down. The effects alcohol has started having on my stomach is no fun. I know this will pass in a few days and I look forward to feeling better physically.
I am choosing to not go to AA this time because it’s just depressing and I know that once God decides to help me I will make it this time.
