She won’t. It’s going to be all right, friend. Believe that.

I am so confused and so conflicted right now. And because of that I might have taken the worst decision of my life. I feel like I want to blow up. I’m so frustrated, desperate, distressed. I hope things turn out to be ok. And I know my problem is extremely minor compared to most problems in the world and in this very thread, so sorry for “wasting your time”.

That apology is never warranted here. If you want moral support or another perspective, please share. Sorry for whatever you’re going through, many of us make big mistakes.

No problem is too small or a waste of time if it causing distress like this. We’re here for you.

Mistakes tend to seem less huge after some time has passed. As far as I’m concerned, if you learn and grow from a mistake, then it wasn’t really a mistake.

This is getting worse. Everyone is fucking ignoring me and won’t respond to any of my messages. I don’t get it and I am so isolated from everybody.

Where do you find these friends of yours?

Ask them why they are ignoring you. If done respectfully and honestly, it’ll snap them out of their uncaring ways if they’re really your friends. If not, then they probably aren’t very caring to begin with.

I inherited them from other friends I’ve since lost contact with. I need new ones because all the ones I’ve got either don’t give a shit about me or live hundreds of miles away.

I just wanted to say that I always read this thread when I see it, but I rarely end up actually typing because I’m Not Helpful and have nothing good to say, but I’m with all of you!!

I have no idea what to tell you… you come across to me as such an interesting and fascinating person that I’d love to be friends with that apparently I literally don’t understand. I hope you figure out what to do and that it works.

I really want a drink. Truthfully the only reason I haven’t had one is because I’m scared of how it would react to my blood pressure medicine… That I had to be put on because of my years of heavy alcohol abuse.
I never said I was smart about taking care of myself. Lol
I don’t even know why I want it. I don’t physically crave it anymore. Pot gives me all the benefits it did minus any of the side effects and I’ve lost 20 pounds just in the past five weeks since quitting. (Not that I particularly needed to but it’s still nice nonetheless). I don’t know why I want it, I just feel like I need something heavier. I feel like I’m missing part of myself, like drinking was part of my identity. I have a mad self destructive streak and pot just doesn’t cut it I guess, despite having all the positive effects I guess pot just isn’t destructive enough to satisfy me. Which is insane. Maybe I’ll get over it. Maybe I won’t. Feels like I’m dying anyway and events in my personal life have a huge part to play in that and if I had my life of 3 months ago back but with my sobriety I would be on top of the world. This has become very rambly and I honestly don’t even remember what all I’ve said and I don’t feel like reading it back. I haven’t drank or anything I’ve just become so disconnected from everything lately I feel like I’m a million miles away from everything and everybody.

Do you have people supporting you in your efforts to get healthy and happy? Is there a way you can put yourself back in touch with people? Getting one’s mind around the idea that one deserves to be happy is hard.

I’m not making any effort to be happy or healthy but heart attack isn’t the way I want to peace out at age 24

Possessed, i hope you can avoid the temptation to drink heavily again. I did worry about posting in the ‘what are you drinking’ thread because i don’t want to be a stumbling block for others. (But i am not so vain that i think i am the only influence on your life).
I think you are being too hard on yourself, I think you said once before that the doctors told you your body wasn’t in as bad a shape as you thought it was?
TLDR, you have a lot of good life ahead of you!

Yes my body is in good shape but the problem is I was left with sky high blood pressure because alcohol shrivels your blood vessels. I am told that pot helps relax them and lower bp so there’s actually a decent chance that if I hadn’t also been smoking pot on the regular I may have died. My blood pressure is almost normal now but I’m still on medicine for it so I don’t know how long I’ll have to be on it.
And thank you guys. I haven’t had a drink in over a month and it’s hard, I used to never go more than a few hours without one.

You have more strength than I can imagine to be fighting this.

Not really. I’m only better physically. Mentally I’m dying.
