What's wrong with me

[PK4]

I confess I am an alcholic of 10 years now, I am 36 years old. Last year at work I over exerted myself and suffered a back injury that is still with me today. The initial symptoms were typical of a back strain, then as the months went by I thought sciaticca (spelling?) but almost a year to the day later I woke up in agony. I can barely move at all and I have this massive body shape changing swelling over my left hip that is so painfull prevents me from standing straight or walking. I have an mri scan scheduled for the middle of next month but the follow up appointment won't have the results untill the end of may. I've run out of space

Hi PK4, I posted a question on here about my alcohol consumption. And you replied, thankyou, and I said to you, that you drink because you are depressed, then depressed because you drink. And you agreed.

Because thats what I do. And it is a spiral. OK, I dont drink during the day, but its rarely a day I dont have a drink.

Any way, dont mean to ramble on here, but just wanted you to know, that you are not alone in your drink addiction. I only have a couple of glasses of wine in the evening, but its still an addiction.

There are some very caring people on here. Along with a few idiots. And some good advice given.

Keep in touch.

Hi ya PK4.

ABers are fantastic aren't they?

You need to make sure that you keep in regular touch with your GP, if he knows how bad you feel I'm sure he'll try and do something for you.

Take care. x

PK4 ~ first of all I want to say it is a huge step for you to admit to being an alcoholic..so many people hide behind the 'I can stop when I want to, I don't have a problem..etc' so for a start you are a fantastic example of a human being!

So many people have given good advice I don't feel qualified to do the same (I sometimes feel I talk too much anyway..blah blah, lol) but I really wanted to come here to join in & let you know that you are not alone, & that there are so many people out there willing to help you overcome your problems. Take one day at a time. One day without a drink is worth praise. Don't give up on yourself if you fall once in a while..just pick yourself up & start again.

In my experience the thought of 'there could be something good round the corner' works well. Keep positive thoughts, love :o) xx

Life is so precious nowadays and I'm sure there are many professional people out there who can help you. You've already taken the first step by admitting your an alcoholic so just take one more step and go get the help that will allow you to have a better life.

good luck and lots of hugs. we're all here for you.
