I got help through an outpatient program. Five months sober and feeling good. Hang in there. Lean on other people for help. You don’t have to do it alone.

Hi Rohit
Yeah, it’s a rough cycle, but you can do this!
Only advice at this point is getting help from the right people Also, rehab..out or inpatient, and make sure to go. And share ….let it all out.
It takes time and effort.
Also…cut off any relationships that you’re actively in .
Don’t beat yourself up, it’s not easy…but sobriety is so much better!
Thoughts and prayers to you

stop drinking alcohol. If you can do it and stay sober good for you! If your life is better sober keep it going. If you can’t quit on your own ask for help!

Hey Rohit, how are you today? You aren't alone in how you feel. The first step to recovery is realizing you need a change. The second step is realizing you need help to change. You can change. Take small steps. Get to meetings.

First step is seek help. This was a good start. If you have good health insurance then I recommend that you seek an outpatient program and see if they will work with you in anything insurance won't cover. Mine did and it literally saved my life. If you can't get into an outpatient program then AA is free. Just make sure you find a group that works for you. Main thing first is stop drinking and see if there are any withdrawal issues. Suddenly ceasing alcohol is a medical issue before it transitions into a behavioral or a spiritual one. When I quit my blood pressure went to 182 over 132. I literally could have stroked out at any moment. I did not seek medical help because at the time I didn't care if I died I got lucky and don't recommend that to anyone else. If you start to feel suck or off in any way seek medical help. A lot of programs are out there to help. Use the system. If money is a problem and you are unemployed or just not making enough then seek assistance. My gas company if all places had a web site that started with help for my gas bill but branched off into all sorts of help including rent assistance. You paid into the system. Use it if you need it. Then you have to stop going to the places you drink. Stop hanging with the people you drink with. Stop doing the things that make you want to drink. I'm sorry it's not much but hopefully it's a start.

Reach out if you need help. You.not having insurance may not be all bad. Do web searches for recovery assistance, addiction program, etc. Start at the city or county level and move up to the state level. I can't think of a state that would not have some sort of program to help. The federal government practically shives that money up their butts and they are mandated to use it.
