I am an alcoholic and I am severely depressed 😔
i cannot rely on family as they don’t know and don’t care anyway. My husband and daughter sense that there is something wrong but I admit it to them because I feel that I have failed them. Just telling you is s massive step for me and I don’t know what I am supposed to do next on this journey
@Faith-and-Hope@Former-Member@Sophia1@outlander@frog@Bill16 and anybody who is listening 👂
Giving you all love and hugs 🤗 just need some advice or guidance xoxo 💐❤️

Good move being able to say it @Nay69 re alcohol.
Maybe start with your family doctor, because they can refer you to a specialist to begin with. They will probably give you a check-up to see where you are at, and provide you with support people to help you with the addiction side of things. It might seem scary, but the first step to getting better is admitting to yourself that the problem exists ..... calling it what it is, and you have done that now. Well done Hon - it’s not easy.
Next step is that reaching out for help so you are not trying to deal with this alone.
We are here to walk along with you ❤️
If if you don’t feel able to talk to your gp, maybe chat with Sane online, or their call line. There are links at the bottom of this page. They can give you contact details for services in your state.
Hugs n hugs @Nay69 ..... Keep taking care of you ..... keep reaching out. You matter, and you deserve support.
