    I'm sure I won't give up. 
    Always good to talk. Thank you

    Good to hear. This may sound silly, but I find 10 minutes of inspirational speakers on you tube helps me get out of that dark place. David Goggins, Jordan Peterson, whomever. It reminds me we are in control. Not the demons in our heads. I also find that meditation helps me keep negative thoughts away. Even if is only a short time. Lie down, burn some incense, take a breath, listen to soft sounds, and recalibrate. Believe me I am far, very far, from perfect but these actions help me try and stay positive and relaxed.

    I spent my sunday in a bit of self-pity and continued sadness as we marked the first anniversary of my best friends death by overdose.

    I commend you guys for keeping to your daily choice to remain sober.

    its NO SMALL THING. to make it through a day without it when believing its a problem in our lives.

    we all struggle in our different ways. and together we can make it through another day.

    so far, so good. just watching movies, trying to stay in the moment/the day, keeping the future where it belongs.

    Well I managed to cut out hard liquor. But now I’m just pounding beers. So I’m just going to have to do the Bill Burr-don’t kerp it in the house. Gonna be tough with the Jets advancing in the playoffs. Freakin party every second day. Ugh.

    baby steps.

    seek to delay the first one and/or just buy a 6 or 12 depending on your typical consumption when "pounding" beers.

    for me a case wasnt out of the question...

    whatever the reduction its a step in the right direction.

    also might be good to apply the aa experiment of controlled drinking. drink then abruptly stop....

    "We do not like to pronounce any individual as alcoholic, but you can quickly diagnose yourself. Step over to the nearest barroom and try some controlled drinking. Try to drink and stop abruptly. Try it more than once. It will not take long for you to decide, if you are honest with yourself about it. It may be worth a bad case of jitters if you get a full knowledge of your condition."

    Alcoholics Anonymous pgs 31-32

    I'm having a mental breakdown.
    I guess I should be careful what I write people can be cruel

    First or most important, is there a crisis helpline available in the uk?



    That's true people can  be cruel. However, I would argue that if the writing provides you release, then write down what you need to. People here will defend you,  and  the mods will address any egregious cruelty as needed.
    In this thread in particular, I would tend to be quite forceful in  defense of anyone here who needed it.
