Hey

Thanks for coming to us here for some help with this!

I want to share my experience with you. I am an alcoholic. I had to go into hospital for detox twice which was very hard and I was drinking so much then when I went on detox, I had a fit. I know people who have died from alcoholism. Its so very dangerous. And like you, I began to like the person I was when I did get drunk, until it became more of an escape and while there was a high at first, I always crashed which resulted in my acting on self destructive behaviours.

You are not alone in this. I know drinking feels like the best thing to do, but you need to find who you really are without alcohol. Because there is someone in you. Someone who can be free and exist and you do not need alcohol to show that but this way might be a little bit harder.

I know AA meetings have been mentioned and I go to one every week and have done for a good year and half now. They are like my second family there. It gives us all a space to talk about the horrible or brilliant week we have had and to receive and give help and support. Do you feel this is something you feel you could look into?

And I just wanted to say, if you ever want to talk about it or need help, you can post back here but you can also always message me whenever. You are never alone in this and people will fight with you by your side for as long as you need them too; like us.

Hope and wishes,
Jessie
