Well, first of all I am not American, nor am I a mum. I am male. I am not Canadian either. Meh.

However I have two sisters who might as well be my children, age difference 16 and 20 - fully blood related.

I was my mum's first when she was 21. We actually share the same birthday. I'm sure she thought, 'oh, what a great birthday gift'....
But 41 years later..... well, i don't know.... She still loves me and all that, even though I am quite the * *p

What brought me here are my problems. I googled 'alcoholism forums' .... I am not a mum, and never will be, gambling too is an issue, I'm either dead broke or filthy rich. Depends on which side the coin lands.

Lately, the coin has landed on the wrong side.... I have thought of, you know, just leaving life to put it relatively nicely.... but damnit, my sisters. I love them, they love me. I don't see them very often as they live in a city, I live in a lil' town.

I can tell they think of me as their big bro.... They know so much about me I don't even.... like at Christmas they gave me a bracelet siginifying the sports team I love. A rubiks cube, I think I mentioned it once to them (still not been able to solve it, but learning),

I don't wan't to leave my sisters, nor my mom and dad....

Hi. Are you saying you have alcohol issues and are thinking of taking your own life? If so you really need to seek professional help. This site cannot help you with this. I urge you to go and see your GP a soon as possible and in the meantime you can call whatever helplines you might have available. Which country do you live in?

Or is it gambling issues? There are definitely websites and phone lines to get support for this.

I don't know, as I said there was a link to this forum when I googled here for alcoholism. Been dry for almost 3 weeks, but am afraid it's going to .... well, I've just not felt right.... tired, depressed.

Already been to rehab like 4 times, sick of making people sick of me. I worry too much..., I think...

I know I should seek professional help but before it has just not worked, and they may have just given up on me.

Gambling is killing me. So is my generalized&soial anxiety, severe depression, alcoholism to numb me, I don't see any way around it.... Just one around... but I don't wanna leave my family.... okay, I guess this is not the right forum... I'm sorry.

We can be supportive and there are lots of knowledgable people around. However it sounds like you really need help in real life. Please don't give up. Dig deep and stay sober. Think of your family. I'm sure they love you and don't want to be without you. I wish you well.

There is an alcohol support forum on here @polarblu

Although it is forum based in the UK, there are people here from all over and not just women. I do agree that you need some professional help to get through this though? Have you tried anywhere?

ETA just read your last. Even if what you've tried hasn't helped so far, don't struggle along on your own. Most people know it isn't a quick fix.
