AA's success stats are horrendous. Alcohol is right up there with heroin in terms of how addictive it can be for your body. You need to be followed by some sort of nurse or doctor so you don't kill yourself from the detox and then you need to drop everything and learn to cope with what ever it is in your life that compels you to have to drink. Without the will to want to quit and the therapy you will need to , your chances of relapsing is pretty much guaranteed. If you are looking for that rock bottom, maybe add Russel to your facebook and then start from there.
And ibogaine has very little evidence other than anecdotal and some studies on rats. I highly doubt it will solve the issue alone especially when the issue has some psychological component to it. There is a reason you feel like drinking and it is more than some gene acting out. I would go with tried and tested ways finding the triggers and learning how to deal with them when they arise. |

What the is wrong with you? Quit doing that.
Anyways, OP, I'm sorry to hear about your troubles. I learned this week that Alcohol overuse leads to Physical dependence, unlike other drugs.
You might need some professional help. I try to stay away from that stuff, but I understand some need a little 'something' to cope or relax...we're just human afterall.
Good luck. |

Listening to Take Care by Drake alone in a dark room, trying to see how much of the bottle I can kill before 10PM. If I'm still awake by then, I'm driving to the bar and drinking in a corner alone, talking to no girls, and wondering why they all go for the s. |

I've known for a long time it's because I can't cope. Me and my sister had a heart to heart, and she's like, well, you can't afford therapy (she has her own therapist, is married, runs her own business) and that my only option is AA.
AA!!!!
I want some ing therapy. I had state insurance in high school and had a great therapist, he's also a minister at a church and very gay. He showed me his church years ago, I might just roll up on him. It's like $100 a session though. I simply cannot afford therapy, and this world is raping me really hard. If I stop drinking, I have uncontrollable anxiety attacks, then once I can deal with them, if you want to call it "dealing", I enter a week long depression. When I'm around people I don't act like a mopie . I'm sociable, nice, and have a great sense of humor. People like me.
Looks like I'm on my own here, for the time being. |

Dude, AA is not that bad. It's not great either, but if you're looking for an outlet with people to share in your misery (so to speak) AA is a good fix in the interim. Of course there's a shelf life to it, primarily because I think the underlying principles of the "program" are inherently flawed.
But that's besides the point. In your situation, you might find it's nice to be around people who are trying to cope without the drink. |
