i am in deep depression, suicidal thoughts and guilt running through my mind. This always happens after a long night of drinking which leads to loss of my job and friends due to my agressive, careless and vulgar behaviour when im drunk. I have lost all my friends and many jobs, no one wants to hang out with me. I have taken loans to feed this addiction and as of now im deep in debt. I have taken advantage of those who trust me and failed to honour my pledges and promises to them. I have exhausted all those who can help me and it has dawned to me the negative effects alcohol has had on my life. What can i do to stop this addiction, i also visit brothels when im drunk but never while sober. Right now im jobless for a month due to drinking during working hours a leaving the premise unattended to. All positive solutions and comments will be appreciated, i want out for good, i want to live a happy and fulfilling life without regrets and regrets. i also need suggestions on how i can make money or get employment.
Stop drinking.
Sharing your problems is the first step to recovery, all the best anyway
Alcoholism can not be cured by sympathy. Am sorry but no one in here can help you. But you can help yourself.
stop drinking.
You have identified the problem. You have owned it. Now make the final decision that only you can make. Stop drinking. Not cutting back not AA bla bla. Cold turkey. Walk the talk and save your life. Man up and slay this demon. Post here daily we walk with you.
Bot ya @admin unasumbua…
Rehab might help
Today is the day to talk to family members about your resolve to quit. i know this may be difficult coz you have let them down before. also be ready to be rejected because they have heard your stories before. but start with calling your parents coz right now you need the love and warmth that only family can give. fight one day at a time and all will be well. all the best.
Wachana na bot ya @Deorro
i thought so too but decided to give him/it benefit of doubt having lost some close relas to alcohol.
vile amesema hapo juu
AA doesn’t solve anything find the root cause of ur drinking and deal with it
, in no time you will be fine
thank you for your replys but, i have reached a point where i find it hard to have normal conversations with people. my self esteem has gone down and talking to people is akward and i feel very uncomfortable. How do i get back to feeling normal?
Rehab. Seek help of a counselor because your drinking might be as a result of past underlying issues
sijawai elewa mtu anakuwa addicted to pombe aje , mimi kwanza pombe(makalli) kwa nyumba sinanga psyche maybe tusker tuuu but zile umbwa zikikuja team building hulewa na kusumbua hunikatsia sanaaa
We took my bro to rehab… paid 180k for 90days… after kutoka akatulia kiasi aka relapse na ubaya… he became worse
No, he can’t help himself. @mkenya001 you have to seek help from a professional, but this help has to be paid. What you also can do is to contact AA Kenya see http://aa-kenya.or.ke/ .
You know why he became worse! You said and you took your brother to rehab. HE has to decide that he has to change something in his life - not you or the family.
Alcoholism of that degree is usually the manifestation of an underlying mental illness. You need a psychiatric eval and be put on either a mood stabilizer, anti depressant or anti-psychotic.
In my thoughts and prayers…
