Destroyed my life.
Had a meltdown on friday, got caught drink driving.
I am ashamed of the fact that i drove, but not the reason behind it.
I drive for a living so that is gone.
I knew something was building up, tried to compensate by double dosing.
But didn't work got pushed over the edge.
So what now.
See a doctor, change my meds see a physiologist try and actually talk out my issues this time.
Take the anti drinking pill.
Take some time to myself to try and recomnect with myself and family.
If it wasn't for my little girl, things could be alot different.
I cant keep doing this, i really cant

Hi Hornet,
I hope you are doing a bit better today.
It sounds like you have a good plan moving forward. Seeing a psychologist can be really helpful as can trying to reduce alcohol intake.
How old is your little girl? I have similar thoughts some days where my son is the only thing that keeps me going.
I agree with Sophie that the Alcohol and Drug Foundation can be really helpful when trying to quit drinking. Plus they might be able to find a support group or services near you.
Kind thoughts, Jess

Hi and welcome. Things sound like they are a real struggle for you at the moment. And at the same time there is a couple of positives in your posts - your daughter, reconnecting and getting help. One thing we all need is the feeling of belonging and being connected... Are there people in your life you can talk to for additional support?
The people here are also super supportive and non-judgemental - and listen to you. If it helps to put your thoughts here, people with respond with love and compassion.
Listening to you
Tim
