you can do what you need to do with or with out her...whether she is there or not you need to get into some after care and get started on the journey to recovery...i think addicts are their own worst enemy...

I dont know if it is a wise choice . but when I go to work I will ask my boss, tell him everything as I am feeling suicidal , if I go to a 30 day program, admit myself, will I still have my job? I know by law that is true, but Im certain I will be replaced, someone has to keep things going, and I am paranoid they can find other ways to fire me, around the system.

This relationship is very toxic and you 2 have to make a decision whether to continue or just split.  You have to make you a priority and do whatever it takes to start living a healthy happy life.......

i wonder how much more she can take...its really hard when an addict tells a loved one they are changing and dont...i have been on both sides of addiction...matter of fact my daughter just relapsed and will be leaving her 3 year old with me for another 18 months....you need to stop saying you need to do this or that and do it...go to meetings, get a therapists and start moving forward....

They have AA meetings everywhere and they are free.  There are also addiction specialists or counselors and are usually covered under insurance.

You say it was only one night but look at the chaos that was caused by your decision to drink......

It was only that one night, I was doing well prior to that and Icant leave my job , I do need those meetings however and pepper now wants to leave me today and go live with her sister in wisconson, man she just dont get it and I do want to set her free, because I cant live like this much longer or I myself will be in the obituaries. I cant take the yelling and putdowns all morning and then go work a 10 hour shift in a factory shortly. swag

Putting down the alcohol and getting into some type of recovery care would be a start.  You have to start dealing with your issues.

Any suggestion on how to get out of my own head and not dwell on thinking so much about stuff that bothers me?

Another day to rethink all this and to get outside my own head, yes Im using someone elses line here. Wish I had  not done what I did mon night, all was going well, and to answer a question from that night-Its not that easy to just pick up and start painting you have to be focused and very much outside your own head. But I know what you meant, so I will listen if it ever happens again, not looking forward to another 10 hr day, seems I have little time for much else, not feeling the big d , but its early still. swagg

I did make up my mind, many times, when I feel hurt, sad and lonely I drink......I have been depressed most of my life, since I was 4 or 5 yrs old, how much worse could it get the depression and mood swings? benzos are a depressant also but i was feeling happy for 3 days even with the benzos also my doctor stated that he feels i need the benzos.... more confusion?

Until you make up your mind to get sober this sort of thing will keep happening and your depression will keep getting worse.  Your choice.........

swagger you are going to have to make up your mind to you want to get clean or not .If you do you need aa meeting s there cant be any beer in the house you cant hang out with people that drink .We all get along here but are main reason for being here is to help each other threw addiction and WD and recovery . .Are you sure you are ready ? You seem to be very interested in the social aspect but not about the fact that you are an addict . I hope you chose to get sober your life will be far better its just hard to see right now because you are still using.
