    The Journey is here...Get your ass in gear !

    I feel like i am crawling out of my skin! I have such control over the rest of my life, family, work, but this feeling of being trapped out of my control by something i truly enjoy really sucks! I really hope that this can work. My wife thinks that i have quit drinking for the past week, and I have hid it from her and the rest of my friends and feel so alone right now, it's almost unbearable. I hope that i can post my frustrations here. If I could scream through this keyboard I would thanks for all the encouragement and I will take my first pill today around 4pm EST.

      Yes - I am very familiar with the crawling out of my skin! Feeling trapped. Not knowing what to do or where to turn. I'm so glad that you have come here. Let it out!!! That is what this place is for. To be able to talk to people that REALLY DO UNDERSTAND. It is amazing. :l:h

        Trap, just got back home. You have found us!! Look, understand that nothing you say can shock us, and unless you deliberately try, you can't offend us. We are REALLY a family. We bitch and moan, we argue, sometimes some slip but climb right back on, and the author of this thread, TLRGS, is our inspiration (just don't expect him to spell right! :H). There's no place like this place but this place. And if you get some time under your belt and mess up, then fess up, and get back on the horse. You'll find your path. I would probably be dead now, with my health, if I hadn't found MWO. Welcome, hon!!

              I can't even visualize myself not drinking right now!!! Since I have been hiding it from my family for the past week, my life has taken an even darker turn. I have various breath mints scattered throughout my car, office and home. I feel like I am almost always looking over my shoulder trying not to get caught. I don't know where else to turn. I run a software company, am a senior member in my church and lead a men's bible study! I feel like such a hypocrit and failure, both to my family and my friends. I found MWO about 2 weeks ago and decided to give this a try. thanks for all the kind words of encouragement. I will be in the house with the boys by my self tonight.... maybe i'll log in with the laptop later tonight.

                trap ... we have all been there done that in one way or the other ... and dont think of yourself as a failure ... really you can never fail as long as you keep trying just take in small steps ... sometimes it better to weene yourself off little by little instead of having your regurl amount ...cut it in half and work from there ...and hey there always old faithful pray ask god for help and he will guild you ... we all need something to believe in higher power, women, the list goes on and what ever works

                  Trap, read, the 'Tell Us your Story' section, and the congrats for people celebrating 30, 90 days and beyond. Also, read the one by Lady Jan. I was here when she came; she had lost her child to the state, was living with a vicious drunk, hopeless. She hasn't had a drink in a year, and her son, Ollie, has become ALL our boy, and he's HOME! There is hope here. It doesn't happen overnight. Chat gets lively after 9 PM, and can be a bit wicked sometimes, but harmless, but we turn on a dime to help someone who needs it. A nice way to pass the witching hour, esp since my Hubs is in bed by then and I have nothing to do but TV. Ask questions, PM us, get to know the place, OK!

                    Trapped - T brought up a good point. Depending on how much you have been drinking you need to be very careful about just stopping cold turkey. Have you cut back in these last couple of weeks?
                    Also, why don't you tell your wife that you found a support group online? My husband knows. I come in here and chat in the evening sometime. Anything to keep my mind busy. It really helps.

                      :welcome: Dear Trapped, we are here for you and we completely understand what you are going through and how you feel. When I came here 9 months ago, I never dreamed that I would make such awesome, encouraging, understanding friends, that have turned out to be "my family". We are so glad you found us and you really can do this! First, go to Ruby's thread "Start Here" and then read my thread "You Can Do This". There are so many wonderful, inspiring stories here. You definetly need to stay on the site the first week or two constantly for support. Roger "Tlrgs" is a wonderful person who has a heartbreaking past, but is now celebrating 3 years sobriety! Most people will give you their phone # if you pm them and ask. You need some emergency contacts if you get in trouble or need help ASAP. Also, there is chat every night, where you will find encouraging people. We are all on this journey to get and stay sober and it is hard, but the outcome is wonderful. You will be amazed at how good you will feel physically, emotionally and spiritually once you get off alcohol. It is very common to have a slip up, but always come right back to your family here where we will always understand and encourage you. :l:l We love you, Vicki
                      I'm not what I should be, I'm not what I could be. I'm definetly not who I want to be,
                      but I'm sure not who I used to be!

                      There is no pit so deep that God's love is not deeper still.

                      "I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME." Phil 4:13

                        welcome trapped.....you have found the right spot. This thread is my true family...they know more about me than my hubs!!
                        I joined in February and just got REALLY serious this month with the help of Antabuse. Tried Topa and Bac, but didn;t like the side effects. Nora and I both started on Antabuse and she is now kicking my ass by hitting the 30 day mark, but I am right behind her. You are safe here and with time will grow to love us all....except maybe Ruby cause she's feisty!!! (JK...Rubes is my adopted mommy)
                        I love my family more than alcohol.:h

                          How many days are you at? I'm only at 37 after my slip, so you, Nora and I are all real close
                          :heart:I love my daughter more than alcohol:heart:

                          Believe in yourself. You are stronger than you think.

                            Good to see the family so active here today, checking in, and gaining a new friend. I just found out I have to go have dinner with the 'outlaws', fried quail. I compare eating with them like being called to the trough. Manners are considered 'uppity'! :H I'm NOT kidding!! Plus, the icing on the cake, Hub's redneck tobacco spitting half-bro and his family will be there. (Shirley, Wino, Beauregard, and Cari Jo), and probably their wild 5-y/o granddaughter. Oh, whoopee. Pray for me.
                            By the way, I won't sit next to FIL; his jaw pops constantly as he chomps and burps constantly. What a lovely prospect.

                              Welcome Trapped! As you can see you've found a wonderful caring group here.
                              Happy to answer any questions to the best of my ability.
                              Ruby my sympathies. Now I know why the redneck jokes roll off you so readily.:H

                              Start by doing what's necessary, then what's possible and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

                                ok, so at 330 i took my first TopoMax, waited in anticipation for some miracle...didn't happen. now it is 520, i have had 3-4 glasses of wine, my wife is not home and I feel like guilty crap. where do i find this "chat" room everyone is talking about? I have read the forums on the drug and know that it may take some time in titrating up to "click", but was hopeful anyway. this seems like a safe place. thanks for listening, even for a short while.
