Terrified.

[SockMobster]

Ok, not sure where to start with this. I can go without a drink for a day, maybe two days (but I end up super anxious on the second day, and, I can't sleep that night).

Alcohol is ruining my life; people say "oh you don't drink that much" because they don't realise how much I am drinking. I'm being told that I just need to cut back and moderate if I am worried. The thing is, I can't moderate.

I need to go completely cold turkey, and I need to do it now because I am incredibly close to fucking up the best opportunity I have in my life. I don't know where to turn to support so I am turning to mumsnet. I have a 26 tablets of diazepam, but that's it - my GP has been fairly useless on this front, as have the mental health service -that I've just stopped going to-

I'm actually very scared I won't be able to stop though. Has anyone contact Alcohol Support or AA?

Just checking in to see how you are?

I am back on day two (I messed up on Monday)

Ah well. You did yesterday so that's good. Time to think about the RL support you need for this, I guess

Hi SockMobster. I'm really early on in my own recovery (day 15). I went to a local alcohol and drug addiction service which can offer one to one support as well as signpost to other groups and services (lots of alternative groups out there that aren't AA as well). It's worth seeing if there are similar services in your area.

I also spent the first few days reading "The Joy of being sober" by Catherine Gray, which I found really inspirational for how good life can be post-alcohol.

Good luck, you've got this!

Hope ur k OP dont give up even if uve had a set back x
