Send positive thoughts sherbros.

[TheGumby]

Guys, if you look through my post history or remember me as BJPENN4WIN. I've been struggling with alcoholism since I joined this forum. I recently was 7 months sober...again and relapsed about 6 weeks ago. Just been super depressed and really to the point of not wanting life again. It's a fucked up feeling. Intoxicated this evening and just hate myself because of the cycle. If y'all could send positive thoughts I would appreciate it. Reaching out here because it's a place I know I can.

Hang in there. Thoughts and prayers coming your way. Don’t beat yourself up over this. You’re going to make it.

 

[Lights Out 101]

I'm going through similar shit too, all the best Sherbro.

 

[The Clinch]

No matter how many times you might think you're "failing" just continue to move forward and don't beat yourself up about it. People trip up, it's normal, just think positive and keep trying to improve.

 

[Anung Un Rama]

Brother! You're an important person even if you don't recognize that now! You've beat it before, you can beat it again! This too will pass!

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

Hope you can get through this mate, we've all got our battles and many are faced alone unfortunately. I think your best option would be to go and see a doctor if you can, they'll know how to help you far more than we can.

I hear you man. I went to rehab last year for cocaine and alcohol and have been doing well, but I know the struggle. You are not alone brother.

 

[Morning Star]

Sorry to hear that buddy. I was an absolute mess almost every weekend for about a year till I cleaned up in October. Think of the positives you have in your life and the people that care about you. Life is a dog fight at times you just got to get through it. You can do it. Don't be afraid to reach out. Wish you the best.

I don't understand alcoholism but I understand depression. After a traumatic injury, I've had to deal with anxiety/depression/PTSD. One thing that helps me is to know there will be highs and lows, valleys and peaks, and that when the lows come to know that they will pass and I will have better days again. Keep hold to the hope that this moment will pass and there will be better days again. Hang in there and let it pass.

 

[Stargazer Rex]

Tomorrow is always a new day. You went 7 months sober and you will do it again. What you are feeling is normal, you can't beat yourself up though.

not saying it's a permanent solution, but it has helped me in the past to at least transition to something that isn't as destructive: weed

the real solution, is to not use anything to escape reality. that is what drugs are: escapism. understand why you want to escape reailty. there is nothing wrong with drugs, if you are not using them to avoid issues in your life. sobriety is the natural state of being.

i've dealt with this my entire life. i continue to fight off the urges, but if you're strong in the mind, you can overcome it. good luck, man.

hey Gumby - Pokey here

we've had quite the journey over the years, never forget those days, brother. I never will. we faced the Blockheads together, those were real hard times, but we always prevailed - just like you will now with this. I know you can do this.

Prickle, Goo, Minga, Denali, & all our fellow Sherbros are rooting for you. we're here for you always.

I hope this message at least brings a smile to your face.

your sidekick,

Pokey.

 

[RetiredSlave]

Choose. Youre stronger than you realize. Your choice is acknowledging that or keeping on telling yourself and doing the things that make you weak. Tomorrow can be the beginning of sobriety for you again, if thats what you wish. Apologies if I came across as harsh but having grown up around booze and having been a destructive drinker myself Im aware that gentle words are about as effective as stern ones. The choice is yours bro. Good luck and best wishes.

 

[bandicoot]

Normally I'd wish you well but you admitted to doing terribly disgusting things to people's food being a server and gloated about.

I bet once you stop drinking you'll have no need to do such awful things to shroud your own self hate and wallowing depression.

Good luck mate.

 

[Wrath of Foamy]

Watch "The Ressurection of Jake The Snake Roberts"

Maybe it will help you.

Wish you all the best my Sherbro. Day at a time and all that.

The cycle happens and will continue to happen until you're finally convinced that booze just isn't what you want in life. Sounds good to get sober, you're sober for a while, drinking sounds fun, you get drunk and lose control, then you're depressed that you've "gone backwards," but you're still boozing because it feels good, and you're back at square one again.

Sobriety is kind of like tipping over a soda machine.... can't do it one push, but with a few rocks it will go down. Not my analogy as it was something I got from Seinfeld. ; )

One solid truth out there : you CAN NOT beat depression when you're putting a depressant into your body. If you're truly feeling depressed to the point that you don't want to live anymore it might be time for some medical treatment. Drop every single thing you're doing and check yourself in tomorrow. Of all the people I know who have committed suicide all of them did it while they were shitfaced drunk and struggling with depression.

Good luck dude... you've reached out here, how about taking the next step?

one day at a time man, baby steps

 

[Hoof Hearted]

Wishing you all the best fellow sherbro. Just take each day at a time and don't get mad at yourself too much for having having a relapse once in a while. If it's causing this much pain I'd suggest getting professional help to address what is causing the relapse (i've never had alcohol addiction so this may not help one bit!).
