It's tough - have you been to / considered AA?

Last resort?

[bednobs]

sorry to hear that.

People do use your way out (committing suicide) when things are so overwhelming they can't cope.

I wish you wouldn't though.

you did it once, you can do it again. Don't give up giving up. Read Cheggers' book "Shaken But not stirred" - he did what you have done several times before he finally cracked it. It may inspire you.

Wiz, you've said this so many times and yet here you are - which proves you can 'do' life.  You feel vulnerable and weak now but you'll get past this just as you have before.  It's hard when your head is in a dark place but you know you can overcome it because you've done it.  Try to focus on the good things in your life - and the good things in you.  Think how much you've helped people and cared for people.  They would all have been the worse without you.  We all have unwanted skeletons and doubts rattling around in our heads - we're all human -  but what's done is done and none of us can change a smidgeon of it so don't beat yourself up - for anything.   Keep talking on here, wiz, and look forward to a brighter tomorrow,

Much love to you.  Naomi x

Dear dear Nailedit - I can't add anything to what has been said - especially Naomi's post.  Please know that we are thinking of you and caring what is happening to you.  Love xx

Nailit, You have beaten alcohol before, so you can do it again. Ask a Christian i say, talk to Jesus. What have you got to lose by doing that. As Janis Joplin sang "freedom is just another word for nothing more to lose"

Nailedit,

It was tough to read your post, I was thinking that you'd fought your way through the worst of it, but please don't give up.

You've got a fistful of phone numbers to help you talk about things. Give them a try, it can only help...

Be thinking about you...

I didn't have a computer until today, so couldn't see this.

Dear naildit - as others have said - you've done it once, you can do it again and stick to it.  You were so happy, try to remember the trips with your granddaughter.

May sound stupid - but The Archers has a storyline about a recovering alcoholic who was coaxed into falling off the wagon.  She's climbed right back on it - too much to lose.  

Naomi's post is brilliant - keep reading it, please. xxx

New day, new start.

Make it one day at a time, and if you lapse, restart again. You know it makes sense.

[juliecarlstan]

Theres some people who don't give up.

[naomi24]

Wiz, if you're looking in, say hello.  I hope you're ok.  X

[hellywelly4]

Please don't give up - we're all here for you - you did it before, you CAN do it again. Keep strong. Sending a hug, xxx

[Gromit]

Sorry to hear of your relapse.

Easy for me to say, but it isn't an either/or option. Sober or *** is not the choice. It should be possible to have a drink to cheer yourself up and then stop. Alcohol doesn't solve anything.

I saw this today and thought of you.

We cannot selectively numb emotions. When we numb the painful ones, we also numb the positive ones.

[Tilly2]

Are things any better? How are you?

[ladybirder]

Be lovely to hear from you Nailedit.  xxx
