Need lend a hand and warning to stop drinking...?
Answers: Hi there,
I feel for you. There are so masses people that feel the agency you do.
You are obviously loved by many (your husband and daughter) and you deserve to enjoy a wonderful life of love and happiness merely like everybody else does, but alcohol can keep you from it.
I'll attach that you have one of the most difficult drinking habits to treat. You're functional, and you binge. Binge drinking is insideous to treat since it's SO confident to rationalize. And coupled with the inability to have solitary one or two drinks points to your problem (binge alcohol abuse). (My dad can never have just one.)
But, listen, first, I merely want to tell you that it takes courage and strength to say aloud out loud that you want to stop. So give yourself some credit.
Second, I want to narrate you that drinking problems are almost never really solved by yourself. I know many people that stopped adjectives alone, and are now just miserable sober individuals. I beleive you can stop by yourself, but it's infinately better and easier if you have some support (like you suggested!).
AA calls for a complete stop. When I needed it, it help me. Years and years of recovery has skilled me that I can use it as a tool to help me if I need it. And honestly, sometimes I still struggle near binge behavior. (Like I said, it's insideous.)
Try this link... it has online chat and support where on earth you can talk to people something like it that want to help.

I'm not sure the standard AA "Big Book" would help you. Consider books that specifically address binging and binge behavor. Also, I significantly recommend Gregory Peck's "The Road Less Traveled".
Hope this helps!.
If you don't want to use AA try looking for other support groups online most will probably be AA based , Marijuana is a angelic herb to help with getting sour alcohol but its illegal of course. Drinking nearly kill me so I wish you the best , i use to use AA but don't anymore. Good luck. Yahoo has lots of recouping groups check them out if you think that will help. how give or take a few AA in another town? how about have a date night with your husband and avoiding the block all together? maybe bring together some sort of club like a ladies axilliary at a VFW post, a garden club, photography club, book club? anything that gives you something to do instead of the public house? yahoo isn't really the best place to go for alcholism. your doctor or AA can give you much better assistance.
good luck to you..
You don't have to drink alcohol. Get a coke, sprite or some tea if you can. You can start sour by setting a limit. If you have the urge to drink, try and drink conceivably one drink or no more than two when you go out. Go to amazon.com and look in accounts or cd's section and type in something related to alcoholism and drinking. They own many self help books, some used and tentative for reasonable prices too. I know what you mean. When I be in motion out I always get drunk and accomplishment stupid. Even though I made up my mind before hand to singular have a couple of drinks. I wish I could back but I don't know what to tell you except not to go out or be around alcohol. If you find a solution permit me know..
You're the only one that can stop yourself from drinking. As we can't tell you and force you to stop. Just stop drinking. Its that straightforward, find other things to do..
JUST KNOW THAT THERE ARE OTHERS OUT THERE IN YOUR EXACT SHOES!

I am not gonna give you " The Talk," as you indicated. I am gonna tell you "Everything" you said " Is An Excuse." The size of the town have nothing to do with you drinking or not. The certainty there is nothing to do have nothing to do with if you pick-up the subsequent dring or not.
It is truly all about you.. your choice to drink or not to drink. Your choice to enjoy drink one, and it is also your choice to continue to drink and pick-up drink number 10.
I doubt you are ready to quit, I do have a sneaking suspicion that you are in the stage of denial, since you do not want to do anything that will cause you discomfort to work toward quitting. You also give somebody a lift no blame yourself for your choices, and seek out other causes, which are individual excuses.
Hop a bus and go to a nearby town if you are so compelled to do something bar drink. Go for a walk downtown, go jog, go shopping or just stay home. None of this requires you to " Drink." In reality, going to a bar does not compel you to drink alcohol. You can sit there for hours and drink soda / coffee.
And most feasible in that small town your driving home after your stoned drunk...not even stopping to realize you could impact many lives of late so you can have your damn booze because " You Are Bored" in a small town. Get A Life..
If you truly needed to help you would realize you have a problem and it is not a soul else's fault you drink other than yours. You would also not refuse permission for help no matter what the form of that serve since you do live in a small town and may not have like mad of options to begin next to.
Even if that help comes in the form of AAA you'd pocket it and work it so you can quit, if that don't work for you then sign yourself into rehab. If that don't do it for you then sign up for that show on A&E Network call " Intervention'
If you truly wanted to quit you'd never refuse the aid and you'd never say " don't give me the talk" Fact- You obligation to hear the talk, the cold hard facts of time about the choices you're making. Your drinking is impacting so many lives and you don't even prudence enough to try possibly the only program surrounded by your Small Town America... If you can't get into a program today, then you should win our of their lives. I lived through the years of my father's drinking... you're not doing them any grand favor by hanging around next to your drinking ..believe me I know.
OOPS.. I gave you the talk anyway... C'est La Vie !!.
First of adjectives, congratulations. They say admitting it is the hardest part of a set, you've done it. I know where you are right now and you are thoroughly brave. Now, AA is a good option. The one contained by your town is just like the ones surrounded by other places. How many people do you know that run to that meeting? If you only know of a couple of inhabitants who are open about it, after chances are that you don't know the other people within there. You could also try one in a near town. They really are anonymous. You can also look up an AA helpline and talk to someone there. You can email me too. This won't be uncomplicated, but you don't really know what it feels like to be alive however. If you get help, you will. Good luck! I'll pray for some more strength for you. Do you drink at home? If so, you obligation to go for help - even if it is a small town. If you individual drink when out at the bars, then only order club soda with lemon. Don't filch the first drink cause after that you know your inhibitions are history. Better advise is to invite friends over for a movie hours of darkness, or cards, bingo, chips and dip and Pepsi! State no alcohol. Please just don't put another sip to your lip. Gotta come from within. Check Craig's List for groups within your area for help, or bid the local hospital for referrals. Best to you !!.
why dont you try to drink some water when you are at the slab...What I like to do is set a limit when I drink. You hold to figure out how many drinks you can own before you feel as if you are really drunk. For me I know I can own 3 captain and cranberry juice previously I start feeling drunk so I would have one boss and cran and then a glass of hose...then a while later an added drink and then more water.It make you use the restroom a lot but at least you are giving yourself a break surrounded by between drinks. And Im sure there are support groups so long as you just do a hunt.
Good Luck
