Hi guys I'm suffering serious depression and anxiety due to alcohol withdrawal.
Up to this week I have been drinking four litres of whiskey a week minimum and that's not including nights out.
Just joined the forum and wanting to find likeminded people in the same boat as myself and get some advice

I have the same issue. up to 1 liter or 1/2 gallon a day for maybe 11 years.
?I eventually had to seek a doctor's attention because nothing else worked. This doctor understood that I can not go to rehab and that there were favorable opportunities.
?My biggest thing is that I can not stop cold turkey or I'll land myself in the hospital, I was told that quitting smoking would be easier for me.
?When my liver doctor told me that my liver is reversible, he also said, "You say your happy alone.... some people go to church to keep from being alone or they stay at home and hide in their addiction to avoid being alone. If you want God, go get him. If you think your truly happy being alone, then let your addiction go. After a year, I'll believe you."
?This was hard to take in. But considering how bull-headed I am, the competition is on.
?I started seeing how long I can go without drinking.
?I made it 1 1/2 weeks then broke. Drank solid for a week, went 3 then broke again.
I could go on.
?My biggest thing before my actual TRUE help is to find out my weak points and triggers.
I hope this helps!

Thanks for that taisha, that's exactly what I do quit for a week or get to maybe ten days the break and drink harder and heavier than ever. When I hit that sweet spot I'm on fire at work and with my friends but then that one that put me mad will have me at home chugging down bourbon. It's got to the stage where I can't hold s job down at all so life is just completely out of control
