God please help me.

I spend my whole life just drinking my pain away. I don't keep up with basic chores. My home is a mess. I'm not taking essential medications. I don't keep up with work. I'm gaining weight. I just don't know how to be an adult and do basic stuff. I always thought I was gonna do great things like be a musician or a pilot or a body builder but I can't even just show up to work.

And now my family are leaving me. My grandpa died. My uncle died. My dad might have cancer now. My mom is next. I spent so many years demonizing them and pushing them away and I can't get those years back. And I feel like it's already too late. Things will never be the same again.

And my health is fading, too. I might have short term memory loss from so much drinking. My IBS and GERD are getting worse. I have sleep apnea and I can't wake up to see a doctor or therapist about any of this.

I'm just so childish and disorganized. I ruined my health and my relationship with my parents and my career life. I can't keep up with expectations.

I just wanted to update and thank everybody who responded to this. I talked to my parents that night, in tears. I was unsure if I should have but it turned out to be a good choice. Our relationship grew since then.

Alcohol is very hard to kick! you might need to go to detox center. And give your liver a chance to rinse out and some clarity.. I’ve gone like 3 times already. I need to work on my steps but I can’t stay sober myself long enough. Hope this helps 🙂💙❤️

Keep working at it. If I didn't fight for my sobriety I may not be here tonight.
SinlessOnslaught · 26-30, M
@SW-User Thanks Hun.

Abba as I come before you I pray for the one known as SinlessOnslaught.

We Bind the Spirit of Heaviness according to Matthew 18:18 and Loose the Garment of praise, Oil of Joy and Comfort.
We choose to up root every root from our lives and plant the seeds of the word to keep us free.
In Jesus's mighty name we pray.
Amen

I'm so sorry to hear this ... I'm not sure what to say except it's never too to late to change your direction in life hang in there...
SinlessOnslaught · 26-30, M
@Lilymoon Yeah. I'll do it tomorrow.
SinlessOnslaught · 26-30, M
@calicuz Yeah probably.

I would have to agree with calicuz. First step is to stop drinking. That would probably improve your sleep quality and stomach issues. You'll probably feel better about yourself too.
SinlessOnslaught · 26-30, M
@NeuroticByNature I made an update
NeuroticByNature · 41-45, F
@SinlessOnslaught I saw that. Im glad you let us know how its going and Im glad it went well.
SinlessOnslaught · 26-30, M
@NeuroticByNature Yeah the update is a bit late because things changed an hour after I made this post. But I thought I'd give a late update.
calicuz · 56-60, M
The first thing to do is stop drinking so you can focus. Can you do that on your own, or do you need help?
SinlessOnslaught · 26-30, M
@calicuz I have a therapist who specializes in it but I halted treatment because I kept missing appointments.
calicuz · 56-60, M
@SinlessOnslaught

Well then, call your therapist back and make another appointment, and keep the appointment next time.

Today is a good day to be a good day .
Dont dear the reaper man, whats done is gone.
Live life to tge fullestceven when youre gone.
Remember friends, it isnt over yet.
Your pulse is your purpose so dont regret.
You dont need to worry, fear or be dismayed.
For i have heard your hearts cry..now i prayed.
Dear God,
Bless this fibe young man
Turn his heartaches out so his joy began.
Trade the life of lies hes lived, give himnpeace as he forgives.
Show your mercy, extebd your grace, wipe his tears, smile his face.
An hour cones deeply in flight when God hears your cries in the night. Dont you ever replace the light, hes with u now and it will be alright!
Hugs n prayers sending out to u, wait on faith, Gods not done with u!

Find an AA meeting and just go attend it. You don't have to do anything--just sit and listen. Eventually make friends, share and find a sponsor. I was there once long ago. One day at a time, and you can get better.
Docdon23 · M
@SinlessOnslaught Yes--sometimes people shy away from labeling alcoholism...that was one of my father's problems, and my wife as well 9she is an alcoholic, but does not seem like it to most people who do not see her private habits). And that was an issue with my son, who became a drug addict--saying that makes some people cringe. To me it is a medical label (some will jump on me for saying this)--addiction is like any other disease. Some part of the brain does not function as it does for non-addicts. It is a disease, and we will not successfully help enough people until we see it that way and people are more willing to both seek help and to have people help them. Too many see it just as weakness. I told people that about my son--we would not say having cancer was a weakness, but a disease that needed to be treated.
SinlessOnslaught · 26-30, M
@Docdon23 Yeah, people still misunderstand mental illness to a disgusting degree.
Docdon23 · M
@SinlessOnslaught Please also know that there are many people out there, and here, who struggle with the same issues you do. You are not alone.

It sounds like you could benefit from rehab, and take it one step at a time, first the drinking, then you go from there🥺
SW-User
@SinlessOnslaught Oh yes, they can find out if you any oral abnormalities, help you with treatment options, and recommend if you should wear any appliance. I think they can refer you to experts too, but I'm not sure. You should call your dentist and ask if you can come in for a check, mention about the sleep apnea.
SinlessOnslaught · 26-30, M
@SW-User I am due for a cleaning. Thanks, Cassie.
SinlessOnslaught · 26-30, M
@SW-User I made an update. Thanks again, Cassie.
It's not too late to rebuild relationships with your family. It's only too late once they are gone.
Im sorry you're struggling so much. That is a miserable time.

Try to find one thing to do everyday that will make tomorrow easier. Little things. Don't try to change everything at once. You can find a better way to live.

That's a good idea. Thank you.

@SinlessOnslaught Im very glad things are getting better. You're doing well!
Fungirlmmm · 51-55, F
I will pray for you, but as others have suggested please seek professional help.

@Fungirlmmm Update 💛

You have the same maturity you did when you started drinking. Drinking halts thought progress. Idk get depression pills or something. It doesn't work for me, but I look forward to testing the next pill. (Am hopeful)
Join AA….they’ll give you the wholesome support you need….
SinlessOnslaught · 26-30, M
@Vivaci Yeah I'm gonna go back.
SinlessOnslaught · 26-30, M
@Vivaci My dad told me that sleep apnea is no reason to miss work and I'm throwing in the towel every time I don't get up. Is he right?
Fungirlmmm · 51-55, F
@SinlessOnslaught I have a forn of sleep apnea. Make sure you get that treated too. It is very damgerous
