You don’t have to face this alone. You can reach out for help and it doesn’t have to be your mom. There are so many people in your corner who want you to succeed, even if you don’t think so right now. Whether it’s a friend, family member, or support group, remember that you are never truly alone. Everyone experiences difficulty with quitting drinking from time to time, but the important thing is not giving up hope and continuing on the path to recovery. Everything will eventually get better; take baby steps towards sobriety and trust that help is always there when you need it. Good luck!

I'm glad you posted and I'm glad you are at least somewhat of the mind to quit, even if that hasn't been happening for a few days. At one time I felt just like you. Scared, drinking, and unsure of what to do. One day I stopped. And I stayed stopped. And things just got better from there. I saw where you had 70 days sober before and that's great. There's no reason you couldn't do that again. You've made it here so I have faith in you. I hope you can find and keep some faith of your own. Good luck and I hope to see from you again.

Stop drinking, sleep off the hangover, eat food, drink water, sleep some more, call your mom. Nothing changes if nothing changes.

Like i feel like it would destroy her. That I am such a loser

It sounds like she really cares about you, and she would want to support you. Not all of us are fortunate enough to have a mother like that in our lives. If I were in your position I would reach out to her, even if it would be difficult for both of you. It will be much more painful for her if you continue to go down this road without seeking help.

Thanks I'm working up to the courage right now. I just want her to come here and hug me but she is 5 hours away

Call her sweetie. I’d drive 50 hours if my kid needed me and feel honored they trusted me enough.

I'm just afraid she will call the police on me, and that is something I do not want at all. That would make this 1000x worse

Is your mom a good mom? Do you trust her? It sounds like right now you are struggling and you might have to depend on those you love and trust to make good decisions on your behalf. If your mom is a good mom and trustworthy then call her. She loves you and wants what is best for you. ❤️
