will it get better

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

this is a serious question not one of my spams

 

im not asking for sympathy either though it may come across that way

 

i been stopped drinking since november 17th apart from 2 little slip ups (2 seperate days of having a few drinks)

 

but i just dont feel happy i just cant seem to feel happy

 

my wife and kids must think im a right misserable bastard

 

i can just picture in my mind that when i had drink in the house i was happy knowing that later that day i was gonna get pissed

 

anyone been through similar to reasure me this will pass because i feel well shit at moment

 

oh and this is after 17 years of heavy drinking it was 10 to 15 cans a day by the end of my drinking

not good dave, hopefully it will pass

 

to be honest you are probably just having withdrawals, given time they will go soon enough

[escortmad4eva]

Give it time mate you are doing well just got to think positive keep busy but you will get withdrawals thats where you have to be strong enough and put your family first dont give up mate.

Dave .... maybe you need to get yourself a past-time that will take up more of your day so that you don't have time to think about the booze. DO NOT GIVE UP NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!! You have done well so far but don't allow yourself ANY slip ups ... you are doing this for yourself and your family

 

How do you occupy yourself? What is a typical day for you from getting up to going to bed?? Tell us and maybe we can suggest some other ideas for keeping your mind busy And not in case anyone of you even thinks about suggesting that

it does get better dude, slowly other things will start to make you happy and exited. but in the mean time

maybe this will help in a roundabout way, remember the band i was in? well the lead singer was an alchoholic.. he died last xmas day from alchohol poisoning. so dont drink dave or your kids might not have a daddy this time next year.

stern but true mate.

 

ps, on a lighter note im addicted to midget gems and coming off them is ripping me apart
