Im Drinking Myself To Death....dont Know What To Do???

[nailedit]

Was admitted to a psych unit in February after a period of suicidal depression.
Kept for a day in A&E and 3 days psych ward and then discharged.

Reffred to alcohol services.
Remaned sober for 43 days days then lost my employment. Drank again.
Referred back to drug and alcohol services.
Had only 2 interactions with them since.
left numerous phone messages
(Always an answerphone when ringing)

What a joke!
Next time that you tell someone to get ''Professional'' help,
just be aware that that they may have to beg for it....

There's only one person to sort your problem's but you know that already... isn't it time you got a grip and stop blaming others.

[nailedit]

[Arksided]

everyone but yourself. reading your post

You've got nothing to lose (and potentially a hell of a lot to gain), so what no give it a go?

There are too many details left out of your post, naillit. The D&A services must have given you a 24hr support contact. Try to keep it together. What made you drink after 43 days sober?

[Arksided]

Hopefully I hope that is taken on board rather than my flippant sfot approach

Why did you loose your job? Because of your drinking or was loòsing your job the catalyst that started it again?

Nailed, be the man you want to be. No one else can be him for you.

sorry to hear this . Have you got a sponsor and do you go to meetings everyday x

[youngmafbog]

Difficult to advise on your mental health problems but with the drinking try not to be despondent on 'falling of the wagon' especially in the early days. Instead look at it as a target to reach and beat this time round. And if it happens again just do the same. Tiny steps sometimes are better for people.

Do try AA, they do help and a sponsor will be worth more to you than any "professional" help. The know your problems far better usually.

AA

The obvious answer is the get in touch ASAP with a local AA group.
My other answer is to go church and seek Jesus
I simply cant afford to drink, how can you afford it?
Millions of people have to survive on foodbanks, but somehow addicts can find the money for alcohol/drugs
