Hi. I have been on a week long binge drinking 70 cl of vodka a day. I feel ok but am scared I could still fit or something. I have been off this binge for 2 days now. Have taken a couple of 2ml diazapam to just calm me. Am I passed the point of a seizure or drop down .

Hi David...well done mate, you are over the worst...xxx
I huge, happy, loving, HUGGING, HI...TO MISSY and all you other lovely friends on here...i have missed you all very, very much...xxxxxx
It has been 14 yrs since I was last sectioned...much has changed, all for the better...we are blessed with a beautiful little grandson...Charlie JAMES....aged two and a half...overwhelming love for this little man...xxx
I have been well for the past 14 yrs...we go out twice a week and I have a couple of pints...at home, I like to keep a couple of bottles of cider in, and half a bottle of brandy....i have only been drunk once !!! In 14 years...
I have found after the first year or so, it got easier..i never, ever think about alcohol in the day time at all....thank heavens...as you all know, that awful craving that makes you want to tear your hair out. !!! Has gone...COMPLETELY
I STILL FEEL TERRIBLE guilt for the ten years of he'll I put my beloved family through...i am so lucky that they have all forgiven me completely....
You have often been in my thoughts, especially you MISSY, you always seem so wise xx caring xx and accepting of all others..xxx
I will try to come on here everyday...much sincere regards...respect and love for each and every single one of you....xxxxxx

Lovely and honest post which will give hope to many.
Grandkids certainly do help. Like you I constantly feel guilty about the wasted years spent drinking and how greatfull I am to have been given a second chance (actually last chance!!)
The thought of being told no more alcohol ever, would not have helped or encouraged me. I drink socially now, couple of times a week and always Saturday night.
?I know this will sound stupid to many of you, but I now keep a drink diary!! It’s just for me so I can see how many drinks I’ve had weekly.
You can’t change the past, but you can make sure you don’t go there again, ever!!

We have to try to tell ourselves every single day, we are not !! Weak...
Stupid....evil.....selfish......hopeless......helpless.....lost.....uncaring....and irresponsible people...we regret more than anyone the stupid mistakes we have made. The things we have ruined...the happy occasions we have spoiled...the people we have worried and hurt...the incredible sneakiness...
Bottles in the toilet cistern...under the mattress...in the garden shed....in my wardrobe..( hubby always found those ) in our huge compost heap !! And hiding them in the garden...forgetting where...and a year later finding them when pruning the garden plants SHEER BLISS...
We never mean to hurt anyone else, the only person we dislike..is ourselves..
But !!! It can be overcome, honestly, my family have always been by my side, as I said before..i have been well for 14 yrs..i made many friends on the way...in the clinic when I had my 4 sections...the amazing alcohol workers, my cpns, my psychiatrist ,..the mental health staff...i have, and my family made some amazing friends , 2 of my cpns...became very, very good family friends....
Anyway ...back to my point...you are worth all of the help you can get...you deserve to be helped and supported every single step of the way...and most importantly. You need to FORGIVE YOURSELF..AND LIKE YOURSELF AGAIN...
We can also help others who are struggling...Experience..is The Best Teacher...
Much love, respect, WARM wishes, and all of the best of your world...to EACH and every single one of us.. always..always xx xxx
PAUL TAYLOR...KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK...XXX

Just wondered how you were doing.
You can post anything on here, it’s non judgemental. You had some good replies and advice. Always good to know how things are going, good or bad.

Hi vicks - you are right in the site being non judgemental - but honesty is there all the same. Good bunch of characters all round.
Looking at the time you posted it was very early and very dark. Looks like about the time I was sat reading a book listening to the rain, I wish hot chocolate would cut it for me - it don't lol.
Take care.
