I screwed up royally.

I’ve been given multiple ultimatums, and of course I always ruin it.

I relapsed again and although I only drank for two days, I did a shit ton of damage in those two days, that my partner had enough of my shit. I said some shit that I don’t even remember saying at all but it hurt my partners feelings that enough was enough.

I missed work once again (total of 10 days already that I have called off work in the last almost 3 months, that frankly I wouldn’t be surprise if I have a dismissal letter when I return)

Anyways… my partner told me to start looking for a new place. Frankly I can’t afford a place on my own, so my only option is going to live in my car. The only friend I have already has someone couch surfing indefinitely (dude is going through a divorce that took a lot from him) so that’s a no go. My parents are extreme hoarders so there’s no room for me there either … so living in my car is the only option for now unfortunately.

Anyways… wanted to ask you fellow DryAlcoholics for any suggestions or advice if you have any. If you experience homelessness how did you manage? Any tips?

My short term goal for now is to find a safe place to park so that I can sleep. Restrooms and shower, I will manage with a cheap gym membership. If money allows it I might rent a hotel room for a few days from time to time. Long term goal, is to hopefully get my own place down the road, which in this economy I know it’s going to be a hard time.

I guess going through this shit will finally get me to be sober because I know damn well money is going to be extremely tight now moving forward… especially if I end up losing my job while am at it

Anyways.. thanks for reading

I’ll try to keep this short.

I royally screwed up.

I struggle with alcoholism, and been working on my sobriety (addiction sucks and it’s hard) but I unfortunately relapse and said some things I don’t remember at all and missed work because I was too drunk to function at all. Anyways, I finally broke the camels back and been told I need to start looking for my own place asap.

Sad part is that I can’t afford a place of my own. The housing crisis is so bad and of course Los Angeles ain’t a cheap city. My only option is to live in my car.

I don’t really have friends to couch surf for a while, and the only friend I could think off, he’s already lending his couch to someone else that is going through some nasty divorce, so that’s out of the picture. My parents are hoarders so there’s no room for me there either…

I’ve read here that 211 is a good resource but was wondering if anyone has any advice or suggestions or just anything to make this “transition” a little less painful I guess.

I did find some a website that offers locations/shelters but they’re all mostly located near Skid Row and for me that’s a scary part of town. I google some safe parking locations as well but none are near me or my job, and many of these places get full quickly.

I guess my point is … if you have any suggestions, advice, etc I would appreciate it

Am boredddddd… give me your thoughts.

Personally? The 1942 bottle could be use a baseball bat but then again I think it would break fairly easy.

Or maybe a beer bottle would hurt a ton more?

Never been hit on the head with one but this intrigued my curiosity

Hello,

Am a bit nervous but I wanted to ask her if anyone maybe had an answer or just advice or anything really.

I had to take a week off work due to my father being at the hospital. I missed work obviously and was told by my HR that in order for me to return, I need to provide documentation of such. Which I understand of course.

The only documentation I have to provide is my father’s intake note. I sent that over but obviously blurred medical information because well I understand a bit of the HIPPA rules.

However, the documents that were sent over for my father are all digital. So I had to screenshot it, print it, blur the medical info, and email it. The kicker here is that it does say the hospital name but not the address or anything else. This hospital has multiple locations (ex. Like Kaiser etc)

My concern is that they would ask me where exactly he was but for me I feel like thats invading my father’s privacy.

I don’t have anything else to provide and I did let them know this first hand. I just feel nervous that they won’t believe it when it’s true.

I am on probation as well and I really love this job but I understand a week off due to this is not a good look.

What would be the outcome though?

I understand many HR work similar and some may work differently but I thought I would ask.

I hope my post makes sense.

Thank you yall

Anybody ever experienced this?

I have script I got months ago, and been having it for a rainy day. I checked the expiration date and it was good, so obviously I took it because my withdrawals were peaking pretty bad. I’ve taken jt before had no issues besides the drowsiness but this round it took the cake for the worst experience

Anyways instead of helping, I just kept getting waves of random anxiety attacks, almost near panic attack mode. It brought my nausea back, dry mouth and instead of helping me sleep it just made me drowsy. Oh and my heart palpitations increased too. Previously Librium made everything a walk in the park, maybe a bit uncomfortable but manageable, this time it was awful to shit.

Sure I got a few minutes of sleep here and there but man was the night a damn struggle. I’ll be walking around on autopilot cause am so damn exhausted.

I do have to return to work today so it’s going to be a long day. Thought I was fired but no lol they’re upset sure but rather me return..

Anyways anyone experience negative effects or side effects with it? Or just me? Not looking for medical advice just wanna know if it’s something that happens on a fluke or not.

Sure it helped with the shaky feeling and all but that was it.

Sorry to spam this subreddit but here’s the only place I can ask this.

I posted earlier that I have been fired due to not showing up for work for almost a week. (Well missed 4 days) anyway got a call from HR asking if am willing to return to work, after scolding me earlier this morning that the lack of communication was unacceptable. Which I don’t blame.. I kinda ghosted them all 4 days really so I do take accountability for that.

Anyways, they’re willing to take me back but I need to provide some sort of documentation that proves my reason why I didn’t go to work. The excuse I used was that I went out of town due to an emergency.
How would I prove documentation for that exactly?

I don’t want to falsely provide something and then they figure out it’s fake. I got fired once for faking a doctors note because they actually called to verify my letter, so I don’t want to do that again. I learned my lesson that time around…

Any advice? Suggestions?

And all this happened due to my bender phase I got into again lol

UPDATE: found an old hospital document from my father hospital stay, I screenshot that and did some editing to it. Only thing I will be screwed if they were to verify this. This stay was a year ago so not to long ago I guess but I at least it can support as documentation right? I don’t have anything else

Am in peak withdrawal hell right now.

Can’t taper worth a damn and am staring a Librium script and wondering to take it or not. The last time I did, it didn’t help at all and only made my anxiety worst

Just in the fetal position counting down the minutes and hours at this point.

Going cold turkey sucks.

For reference I drank pretty much a fifth of tequila a day this past week. So I knew when I was going to stop this bender I knew I would be in a shitty position.

To top it off… I got canned from my job.

How do yall manage your withdrawals? Cause it’s hell over here

Update: I took the Librium minutes before another panic attack .. here’s hoping it helps soon

I need someone to talk to…

I lost my job and fucked up my relationship with the most amazing human, all because I entered a week long bender. (Rookie number for some I guess)

For context, I’ve been an alcoholic for the last 7yrs. Was drinking daily for two out of those 7 years, and then “upgraded” to binge/bender drinking for the rest. My partner gave me multiple ultimatums and multiple second chances that anyone would be lucky to have, so this bender was what broke the camel’s back. I have also lost multiple jobs prior to this as well so am not new to losing a job due to alcohol.

I am in withdrawals right now and would love some distraction, so that am not all in my head right now. Currently trying not to have a panic attack

Tried tapering early this morning… that shit didn’t work. So cold turkey it is which sucks even worse
