I need some help!

**redls1** · 11-09-2009, 11:38 AM

Im an alcoholic and want to go drinking. I was already at hooters but dont want to stop. I know I need too and my wife said she would leave me if I kept on drinking. I woke up this morning depressed and it seems the only thing I know how to do. I know the advice Im going to get but I guess it doesnt hurt to hear it again. I just visited my wifes aunt and am waiting for her cousin to come home so i can try and keep myself busy but the urge is great.

well shit... what hobbies do you have??? do you play guitar or anything like that??? how about this... every time you get a craving start doing push ups... do 20 push ups every time you crave...

Wish I could but I have back issues and it hurts to even walk. I could use the exercise.

**redls1** · 11-09-2009, 11:43 AM

I use to build computers but as cheap as they got it didnt make sense for as cheap as they got. Dont have a car to work on anymore. I just think life sucks.

**basballny2** · 11-09-2009, 11:44 AM

well, weigh your options, the bottle or your wife.....

**krese** · 11-09-2009, 11:46 AM

this isn't really the place to come for this kind of help. talk with your wife and get the real help you need. we all go through times like this and we make it through.

best of luck to you.

you admit to your problem so that right there is a sign that you can make the change... just have some faith in your self...don't think about tomorrow or next week... just take it one day at a time...

World of Warcraft. For $15 a month you get unlimited friends and unlimited fun. Except on Tuesday mornings.

This post is actually kind of serious.

**redls1** · 11-09-2009, 12:31 PM

I dont feel like drinking anymore but feel like shit because I let myself down.

**DrMilhouse** · 11-09-2009, 02:24 PM

Call your sponsor. If you don't have one, get one.

Call your doctor.

You let yourself down. It's life. You'll do it again. It's life. All of us do that from time to time.

Find some flamboyantly gay friends to hang out with or something. Their excitement is contageous.

**Nastyfoot** · 11-09-2009, 02:30 PM

Get some professional help.......As "cool" and "fun" as LS1.com is, you won't get the answers and/or solutions you need here.

Good Luck to you.

replace alcohol with sex,if your wife is willing. Ask her if she will have sex with you everytime you get the craving for alcohol. I heard it worked with smokers,perhaps it will work with alcohol as well.

So sex from 5:00 PM till you and your partner pass out?
