I want to drink the feelings away but do not want to suffer the consequences of drinking.

you completely verbalized my life, all I remember, is that good feeling of being drunk, and that’s what lowers me to want to drink, I keep forgetting that, of course I don’t stop drinking, I get blithering drunk, I sometimes send embarrassing, text messages, eat 2000 extra calories, balloon up l
And get fatter, And embarrass myself in front of my son. Don’t ask me how I forget all that, but I always do. This app is helping me remember. Thank you for your post.

We can’t forget the consequences or we will drink again and the consequences always get worse. The last 2x I wound up in a psyche ward I got so crazy. It always gets worse never better and yet I still want to numb my feelings. So I will pray, keep talking about it, read the literature, go to meeting, and call my sponsor.

Face those feelings my friend. Otherwise, they will catch up and beat you to the ground. Suffocating them is the worst thing you can do.. remember a lot of us are in Recovery.. we’re here to help! Contact anyone and don’t isolate

Drinking just amplified the horrid feelings and voices!! A thousand fold until, I completely surrendered to sobriety and made sobriety the PRIORITY over family, business, girlfriends and everyone. Without absolute sobriety I cannot have any of those anyways.
Hang in there! Go to live meetings, get numbers & use them, work w a sponsor & do the steps to the best of your ability. Then repeat! Life gets better and this will be a great adventure for you:zap:

The great obsession of every abnormal drinker is to enjoy and control their drinking.
When I’m enjoying my drinking, I’m not controlling it.
