struggling with alcohol.

I've been struggling hard with alcohol. Everyone says I need impatient but I think I can handle it with IOP. For those of you ya'll that have been here, what are your thoughts? I'd appreciate the smart arse comments be kept to a minimum because this is very serious to me.

Are you pretty hungover now and having serious regrets, because that typing job was awful.
And, if everyone thinks you need inpatient, it's probably serious enough that you do.

are you drinking right now?

Get a hobby or two that you enjoy more than just sitting around drinking and that's easier to do not being hungover. Time will eventually phase out the alcohol with the new, more productive hobby.

Sounds like you're struggling without alcohol.

If you're serious and you actually posted that info here, I think I'd listen to everyone else and not what you think. What you think is what got you to where you are.

If everyone is saying inpatient, it's really out of hand. You've done the hardest thing....recognized it's a problem. Now, don't short change yourself by trying IOP first. Go all in. Good luck, Supa!

Dude straight up, try and give it up. Give going to meetings and have an open mind.
Like I tell everyone. Go completely cold turkey. Do it for 6 months hardcore. See how you feel physically and even more importantly mentally.... if you don't like the way you feel, go pick you up a bottle Baw and do some work on it.... The drinking and partying ain't going anywhere. It will be there waiting for your return
Good luck with it all

i'd go with inpatient rehab and the feedback you've received from those close to you over the feedback of anonymous message board posters who have zero weaknesses.

I don't know what your best option is, but you did the right thing by bringing this to the OT. You can be sure of that.

How much and how often do you drink?
Posted on 12/29/14 at 9:11 am to supadave3
Start with a few AA meetings. You don't have to talk. You can just listen. If someone asks you to speak up, you can just say that you are listening.
As others have said, you can't make a big change until you decide that you need to make the change. Even then, it will be a hard road but one that is better than the alternative.
Unfortunately most people don't finally come to that realization until they have hit rock bottom in their relationships and finances.
Good luck.

I suggest homebrewing!

Not being a wise arse but it really is as simple as not picking up the glass/can/cig/straw/pipe or whatever your poison of choice is. Some people like to use meetings as a crutch some use doctors some the church, either way until YOU decide to stop and stop the simple act of using nothing will change no matter where you go or what you try.

Start going to AA meetings. They're the most effective way I've come across to get off alcohol. It's free, it works, you can start today.
