Hi Impermanence,
I've been where you are now more times than I like to think. There were years when I couldn't imagine a life without alcohol - or live a life with it. After making it through the day only with the thought that I could at least not drink for 24 hours, and then doing that for several weeks and months, I finally (after a couple of relapses) found myself with ten years sober. I could never control my drinking on my own for more than a few weeks, but with help from others I got that 10 years in. As you can see by the other posts, we care about -- and for -- each other.
And don't be embarassed by or ashamed of your post. I've been there too. I once spent all night posting all sorts of stuff here in a manic mood after taking an unprescribed A/D on top of my prescribed one. To my horror, the next day my ramblings came up as the top search item on Google when I just put in the two A/D names! But it soon disappeared into the millions of other hits. This too shall pass.
