> Not sure where to start...I'm trying to be sober, no drinking, no taking pills...But i hate my life sober, and i hate myself high. I get deepressed, anxiety ridden, panic attacks more frequent now. I need to escape but i have too much at stake, kids, husband.
>
> I can't find any pleasure, any balance inside or outside of myself. Not sure where to go, what to do...Okay, I'll tell where to start. Go to Alcoholics Anonymous. You are not going to work out a personal dialogue in writing or inside your own head.
You don't have to stop drinking, you don't have to stop taking pills, you don't have to spend any money, you don't have to admit you're an alcoholic, you don't have to talk when you don't want to. You don't even have to stop whining. Just go. Suit up, show up, and sit there until the meeting is over.
The only alternative is that things will get worse and worse until you hit a bottom that is painful enough to catalyze a real change, or you die.
