Something’s not right

First day sober in 15 days..

First day sober in 15 days..

So I have been drinking a lot lately. A real lot. I have decided to drastically reduce my drinking only problem is I really feel like a drink. I miss the feeling of being intoxicated with wine or cocktails. I have schizoeffective disorder and the Alcohol seems to take the edge off and make me feel better only problem is I know in the long run its not doing me any good.

I also need more and more alcohol to take the edge off, then I feel bad the next day so I have a drink to feel better, the cycle starts again. I don't want to die of an alcohol related disease only problem is I hate being sober. Help me please..

@Lilyq. So good to hear you are in rehab and are being looked after. It sounds like the best place for you right now. And you'll be more successful in quitting.

I'm proud of you.
