Day Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 7 minutes ago, Reggie Greenwood said: Contact your local AA Bob they will help you. Echo this. You've already made the hardest step, admitting you have a problem. It's not plain sailing from here on, but you appear to be wanting help posting this so that's a huge positive. Support is easier when the person is open and willing, not being forced into accepting help.

TigerTedd Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 1 hour ago, Bob The Badger said: This is the hardest message I've ever typed sorry but I need help I'm an alcoholic Round of applause for a very brave first step. The first step on a journey is always the hardest, but in 5 years time, you’ll be living your best life, and looking back on this moment as a turning point. There’s a long road between here and there, but take it one step at a time, and look after yourself. cstand, jono, Highgate and 7 others 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mucker1884 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Not something I can advise on, so I'll keep my nose out... but not before saying well done on making this massively brave first step, and adding my massive best wishes that the future holds fair for you. Best of luck, buddy. Stay strong. ?? TigerTedd, jono, Steve How Hard? and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highgate Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 The fact that you are able to admit it in public, is a hugely encouraging sign. It's sounds like you know things have to change now. Take all the help you can get now from everyone who offers it, don't be shy about leaning on people for a while. When you have things under control you'll be there to help others when they need it. You'll totally be able to do this. Archied, jono, Bob The Badger and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes a lot of courage and it really shouldn’t have to. I hope you get the help you need and very best wishes from me.

Baj Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 You've made the biggest, scariest, most difficult and most commendable first step by what you have said. Admittance to an addition is the first battle won, hopefully you will go on to win many more. With help from friends, groups and other organisations and the courage you have shown with this will set you on the right path to winning not only battles but the war itself. We're hear to listen even if we cannot directly help you on your road but there is an end to it, keep going down it and you'll get there. Wish you all the best and you're already going in the right direction. ariotofmyown, Highgate, Cisse and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i-Ram Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Go get yourself sorted Bob. In the meantime I wont think of you as an alcoholic, more a collector of empty bottles. Take care. Bob The Badger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewe Ram Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 If you’re able to contact your GP they can refer you to recovery partners and from there you can get the medical help if you need it, on top of emotional support you can get from other sources. detox is a serious undertaking but they can help with that.

NottsRam Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 You've got this Bob. The first step is hard to take but there will be a light at the end of the tunnel.

Alph Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Did you give that number a call Bob? If not just take a deep breath and give yourself a team talk. Then take the plunge mate. Be a massive step you've took and then that's done and you just plough forward from then. If there's any set backs, pick yourself up and plough on. If it's plain sailing. Plough on. If there's self doubt. Plough on. Don't listen to the negative voices in your head that bother all of us. Tell em to feck off. He's had a drink! Who gives a feck! His name is Bob and he's on the up! Not gonna wish you luck though because you won't need it. Just perseverance no matter how hard the road ahead. i-Ram, ariotofmyown, Archied and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
