Hello.

Hi. I am an alcoholic.

I am going through some traumatic events right now and I've locked myself in apartment for the last month and only leave the house to eat and buy more beer. I have 2 giant trash bags filled with cans, and a couple hundred lying around the house.

How do you get out of this rut?

Change the question to how do I get out of this rut?

Hello, my name is Richard and I am an alcoholic. And I am out of that rut.

There are at least two ways you can get out.

#1 someone comes into your apartment and takes you out. Now that can be willingly or unwillingly. Sometimes we go off the deep end and intervention is called for.

And

#2 you can decode you don’t want to live this way any longer and you can take action. Here is a piece of action you might do, Type Alcoholics Anonymous and where you are living in your web browser’s search field, find a meeting, and go to it!

Christoff, untreated alcoholism NEVER I repeat, NEVER gets better on it’s own. Take some action now or wait until someone else takes it for you.

You can go to an AA meeting and start a new life beyond your wildest dreams. You never have to feel this bad again. You never have to drink again. Go to a meeting. What do you have to lose.

I tried AA. It didn't take. They basically stopped talking to me and kept suggesting I wasn't an alcoholic and I just had severe emotional problems. After about a week of them doing that too me I quit AA.

Was there for 3 weeks I think. Also I am not christian so it was very awkward when they prayed and I felt like I was betraying my religion.

give this a try. call your doctor,make an apt. your doc can do some blood work and then figure out from there what is the best course of action. maybe some meds to help ease you off and even you out or maybe some one on one councelling somethin i myself am consideringas ive learned AA isnt for me. try typing quit drinking into google, you should get some good stuff. there is a lot of different tools out their to match all the different types of people we have on this loverly planet. to list a few, rational recovery, s.o.s., smart recovery. start taking a multi vitamin this will help out a great deal. something with a lot of vitamin b. alco's are usually very deficiant in b.

ehh.. well it happened. no one made me leave my appartment but they issued me a writ of possesion. i got my stuff out of there hell of quick. as for the drinking .. i am staying with my grandmother who doesnt allow drinking and I am severely sweating it out cause she doesn't have an air conditioner

This might be a good think, at least it breaks you out of the rut.

Into action my friend… all else is folly.

I hope you break out of this. I know how hard it is with anxiety plaguing you. Which I seem to identify in your posts. So. Keep on trying! At least there is reason for you to cut down in your present situation. That's good.
