Breathe Jestr. Deep breaths, in and out. Think of good times of the past and good times yet to come. If you have to, call 911. You may need to see someone in the medical profession and they may give you something to help you through this. There's no harm in asking for help, and no shame in it either. Call your dad, maybe and tell him what you're feeling. It was a wise move to give him your wallet and money. He evidently cares. If you need to, PM me. I'm here for you.  |

Some good helpful advice given by Altaira but never be afraid to ask for help...is there any organisations near where you live who can send someone to help you..speak with your Dad..we all need help in some way or other in our lives, a Minister or Pastor near you might be good to speak with..I wish you well..  |

Great suggestions above. Hard times come to all of us sometimes, and we have known you here at USM for more than 13 years. I have every confidence that you can beat this demon that is weighing heavy on your right now. Do you have any friends that you can spend time with while you go through this time. I'm sure there are hotlines available for you to call to speak with someone who might identify with what your going through. I will keep you in my prayers that you can make it to the other side of this tough time. You will feel so much better about yourself once you get to the other side.  |

I am a recovering addict. (3 years, self medicating) I truly know what you are going through right now. You need to check yourself into rehab right now. I am sure there are local organization that can help with you make the choices. Most important, you need to talk about those demons and rehab will help you do that. Once you face those feelings and /or thoughts, you will be surprised the strength you are capable of. Keep us posted on how you're dong. If you need someone to talk to...message me.  |

I had a close friend come over last night and she always good for keeping my mind busy. She showed me a bunch of youtube videos for songs that help with recovery. She didn't leave here until 4am after I fell asleep. It's just all these years of suppressing the demons that followed me home made me not ready to do this all at once. It's hard and it's painful. I didn't realize I ha a problem until I had to become sober.  |

I've been there buddy. When I put the bottle and drugs down, the nightmares came in a rush and they didn't go away when I woke up. From time to time I still have them (last night was really bad), the best advice I can give, which you have already done is to not be alone. Stay close to family and friends. Let them know whats going on and that you are asking for help. In the meantime, take a breath. Breathe slow and steady. Know that you are ok. Tell yourself you are ok. Listen to calming music, watch a favorite movie, read a favorite book. If you can manage it, do something constructive around the house, cleaning, cooking, general matienance. Whatever it takes to keep youself busy. Most important, know you are not alone. I'll be praying for you.  |

Trust me when I say rehab will help you. A person only has so much will power and when it comes to addiction, it takes more than one person to wrangle with that monster. I sincerely hope you get the help you need. It will get better, I promise you.  But for the present, like everyone else is saying, take a moment to stop and calm yourself down. Take a hot bath, talk to a friend, do something that will relax you and help get your mind off of this.  |

Oh Jestr, I'm so sorry. I remember you as a young boy here. Get yourself to AA NOW. Look up a local chapter on-line. I promise you it will help you tremendously, you do NOT have to be religious to do AA! My uncle was wife beating, child abusing alcoholic for almost all of his life, certainly not at all religious, but he finally started going to AA and has been sober for about five years. Your sponsor will be there day or night for you. Please at least call them!!  |

First of, coming from an ex Opiate/Heroin addict here I am going to tell you one thing I've learned from all of my detoxes off from that crap - DETOXING FROM ALCOHOL IS NOT SAFE TO DO ON YOUR OWN!!!! Seriously IF YOU ARE NOT WELL YOU NEED TO GO TO AN EMERGENCY ROOM FOR SAFE KEEPINGS. You can go into a seizure dude... seriously if you are that bad right now please get yourself to an ER instead of an early grave  |
