I am a binge drinker - help!

[Ukblonde]

I am doing it again and with disastrous results. I have L-Glut at home, awaiting GABA and KUDZU. I also know without confidence AA is no no.

I have a loving BF and my drinking has meant I was date-raped at the weekend, by another alcoholic.

I am so sorry for your horrible experience. It seems that you know the program and have some of the tools. I wish I had some words of wisdom for you. I am a newbie-Day 9. I just keep thinking about how horrible I felt physically and mentally and that seems to help. I do go to AA, but only because I am often alone and need sober friends. I am sure that some of the other members with more experience can help. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

So sorry Sweetheart...AL the distroyer at work again...If you can get a few days sober then maybe your boyfriend can make sure you take a daily Antabuse.That way he will know you are seriously trying and you will have to think before you drink...ABOVE ALL ELSE...NEVER STOP TRYING!!!!!

Hi

I am really sorry to hear about this latest distressing incident.

Sometimes these types of things can be a real wakeup call. You can give up drinking. You don't have to live like this. I guess the best thing to do (easier said than done) is to just never take that first drink.

I am wishing you luck with your goals and hoping you will be safe.

I am so sorry about what happened this weekend. Alcohol does not excuse that behavior. Please do not put all the blame on yourself for what happened. But do do whatever it takes to quite drinking so you are not in any more of these situations.

Hi UK,
What a horrible experience! What AL does to us is incredible! I'm also a binge drinker and lost, for the 3rd time.!!! my prescription glasses during the last binge. There is no way that the insurance is going to pay out again - which makes it a very costly story.
Don't be hard on yourself for what happened over the weekend - AL changes the real us.
All the best.
Jessie

Healing thoughts going out to you. I am so sorry that happened to you. AL is a horrible evil demon when uncontrolled. I am pretty new here myself and struggling with the lure of the vino. It is really hard. We can do this. The people on this site are some of the most wonderful and honest people around. Stay here and read and post. You will beat this thing. Life is just too damn short to drown it's joy in alcohol....

I hope you pressed charges against the person who date-raped you!!!

No matter how drunk you were; you do NOT deserve to be 'raped' or to be taken advantage of!!

I am so sorry. You must be feeling so violated.

I am hoping you find the strength to quit drinking. We all deserve to be out of the clutches of this horrid disease.

I'm so very sorry for what happened to you UK, and whatever you think, it wasn't your fault... so go easy on yourself! I can assure you that whatever baggage we all carry around from our drinking years will be put into perspective when we think clearly again... this doesn't rectify any situation, it just helps us deal with our pasts. I had tremendous guilt, but in my previous sober years, I was able to put my past behind me... you know what, it wasn't tough, it just took so sober time! I wish you the very best!
