I'm drinking and want to talk anyone, how do I find someone to talk too?

Twinpairs I had a hunch by the questions I have seen you answer and the pages you manage that you might be an alcoholic. This hunch has for the most part been confirmed by reading your blog. twinpairs.blogspot.com/ You know what to do.

Call your sponsor or get to a meeting by walking or taxi. soberplace.com/aa-meeting/maine/calais Be well. 24 Hour Hotline - 1-800-737-6237 or 207-774-4335 ~edit There are other alcoholics online at this site soberplace.com/members "I am responsible.

When anyone, anywhere, reaches out for help, I want the hand of A.A. Always to be there. And for that, I am responsible.

Hmmm. One word in your question is kind of distressing. "...anyone..." If you had said, "I've been drinking and I want to talk to my girlfriend," that would have sent a different message, to me at least.

The word "anyone" implies a sense of desperation. I'm not being finger-pointy, but it sounds as though the "anyone" is a cry for help. If you are having a rugged time with alcohol, find a local AA meeting.

They are available around the clock, and there is usually a crisis line if you need to pick up the phone. Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but it just has a ring of loneliness to it that makes me feel bad for you. Hope I'm wrong.

Maybe you could call a good friend that understands where you are coming from and about your problems in life. A good friend will be there for you no matter what. If their is not a good friend that you can call maybe you could find a chat room on here where you could chat with several people or maybe you could find someone on here that will have a private chat with you.

Good Luck and remember Do Not Drink and Drive! Be careful and have a good evening! flickr.com/photos/erayza/470820447.

I am seeing several questions on this subject at the moment, so I was getting confused but I am listing a few Mahalo answers where I provided some information. I mention a dialog between Dr. Marshall Rosenberg and an alcoholic, so I might as well reproduce it here: Rosenberg: "Upon first meeting with an alcohol user, I might ask, “Can you tell me what needs of yours are being met by drinking? I understand you’ve been drinking a fifth of whisky a day.

€ “Yeah. € “Can you tell me what needs you’re meeting? € “I’m an alcoholic.

€ Do you see the difference between the question I asked and the answer I got? I asked what needs are being met, he tells me that he is an alcoholic. I say, “Excuse me, but I’m not asking what you think you are.

€ “No, I know I’m that. The doctors told me I’m an alcoholic. € “Yeah.

And I’d suggest that it’s not going to help us to label you. In fact, it often leads to self-fulfilling prophecies. € “What do you mean?

€ “Well, I ask you why you drink; you say you’re an alcoholic. So, why do you drink? €˜I’m an alcoholic.

€™ It’s a circle. You didn’t answer my question. What needs of yours are being met?

€ “But, I’m an alcoholic. € “I know that’s what you think. € “It’s what the doctors told me.

€ “It’s what others have told you. I’m not sure it’s going to get your needs met to keep thinking that. I’m asking you what needs of yours are being met by drinking a fifth of whisky a day?

€ “Are you saying its right to do it? € “I’m not saying its right. I’m not saying it’s wrong.

I’m saying you wouldn’t be doing it if it wasn’t meeting needs. € “It’s killing me. The doctors say it’s killing me.

I’ve lost two jobs. I had a divorce. € “So, a lot of your needs are not getting met by drinking, which means you must be meeting some needs that are pretty important to you or you wouldn’t be doing it.So, I’m confident if we identify those needs, we’ll find other ways of meeting those needs that are more fun and less costly, that will meet all of your needs, like your needs for physical health and others as well.

You tell me you keep drinking even though you know you’re an alcoholic, so I think that it doesn’t help to label yourself an alcoholic. So, let’s look at what needs of yours are being met and then I’m confident we’ll find other ways of meeting your needs. €œNow, when I say we’ll find other ways, nothing is going to be easy, because in our culture it isn’t easy.

Many of our basic needs are pretty hard to meet. For example, one of our needs is for community, a supportive community. I know how to get it met.

Go into any bar, any neighborhood tavern, and buy a round for people the first day you’re in there. And the next day you go in, you’re part of the community.It might be more of a feeling of community than you’ve ever experienced. People know your name, they recognize you.

And when you sit there and talk about your rotten boss they say, 'Yeah, that guy’s an asshole,' and you come as close to empathy as you’ve ever been in your life. You don’t know the difference between people agreeing with your judgment and empathy, but it feels damn good. And you get some relaxation from all the tension and so it meets a lot of needs.

Am I right?" "Yeah. " Marshall doesn’t conclude this sample of dialog with a summary of how it represents why he thinks the whole concept of addiction is destructive. I believe his point is that when people think about themselves as “being addicts,” it can prevent them from seeing how their use of the substance is an attempt to get important needs of theirs met.(this sample dialog is from Wayland Myers page) duenhsiyen Hope this helps!

Check out my listening skills Mahalo page on how converse with empathy. You would like to find someone who can do this with you.

You could enable voice chat on yahoo or skype, go to a bar or talk to a street tramp, I suggest all three.

Try meebo. Com there are a lot of chat rooms on there for just about everything. Thanks Mike!

Lol,i always do that and it seem like when your not drinking theres always someone to talk to.

You don't say what you want to talk about but I'm guessing it's about your drinking. Call your local AA office - there will be someone oncall to answer your questions or address your concerns. Also, there are 24 hour hotlines available to help alcoholics or addicts who want to talk - such as this resource: addictionsearch.com/treatment_facilities... Good luck!

You don't say where you're doing your drinking, but if you're at home then you can always go online and find a chat room. Maybe you should start your own chat group of people who drink and need someone to talk to. That group could get pretty wild, I guess.

Don't let the alcohol get the best of you, though. In real life, a few people might hear you say some stupid drunken thing but on the internet it goes out to millions!

I would suggest starting out with your name. Then, move on from there and find a common interest. That way you have something to base your conversation off of rather than just guessing and rambling on about something the other converser doesn't have interest in.

Also, don't just talk to girls and try to hit on them. They don't find it very becoming. So you should just stick to the friendly conversations and see where it grows from there.

Good luck.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
