I had a huge fight with my boyfriend under the influence?

Question

of a lot of wine and am also on cipralex. I went into a rage on Saturday nite fueled by my boyfriend's temper and I threw out 4 of his beers and smashed the bottles on the floor. He is on probation for assault towards me

I called the cops.The cops let him stay and I can never

call them again.

I am so regretful on that whole nite I have vowed to get

help with drinking. I'm thinking drinking on antidepressants is probably not a good idea.

I can't go back to AA. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I have a suggestion.

You CAN go back to AA.  They are not judgemental.  They are the experts on how to stop drinking.  If you want expert help, that's where to go.

Most people in AA didn't get it the first time either.  The only requisite for AA membership is the desire to stop drinking.  There are no dues or fees.

Stop saying you can't, and get willing.

Answer 2

Well you're already a step ahead of the rest.. you've identified the problem, step 2 is sticking to your guns and getting better. Whether you blog all over the internet or find a self-help website, you can do it! Mixing drink and drugs is no good. I'm sure there are warnings on your med bottle that advises against mixing with alcohol. Point is we all make mistakes and take different roads in our life. You need to find out what makes you happiest in your life and stick to it. If you love this guy (inspite of the assault charges... which is a whole 'nother ball game) then quit drinking and try having a sober relationship with him. Perhaps the mix of concoctions is what drove your relationship to where it is today. But no matter what you have to get better for yourself and no one else. And who knows.. maybe when you do get better you will realize you don't need a boyfriend like that and maybe you'll move on.. I wish you the best!!!

Answer 3

Don't drink while you are on your meds, which you are not suppose to do anyway.

Answer 4

You should enter a rehab right away before you hurt yourself or someone else.PLEASE DON"T DRIVE IN THE MEANTIME....

Answer 5

well..if you got a drinking problem go to a physocatrist,its dangerous to be drunk with your boyfriend because bad stuff can happend like s*x and pregnant

Answer 6

Mixing pills and alcohol is always a bad idea and can lead to serious things, as you've seen. You and your boyfriend need to learn to control your tempers and your addictions. Talk with your doctor about the effects of your medication- maybe he can recommend another. Try to fill your desire for alcohol with something else, like forcing yourself to drink water instead or doing a crossword puzzle to focus on something else. Its not as easy as all that, I know, I've been there too but you need to find that inner strength if you want a healthy life. And you need to have aserious discussion with your boyfriend. He must know about your habits but if he's assaulting you, this relationship does not sound healthy. If the two of you can work this out, you need to be honest, considerate and communicative and that takes work. But you can build towards something greater and stronger if you help each other through this tough time. I think you should go back to AA if you had in the past, so you can get support from people just like you. It helps to have a safety net. Maybe you should find a therapist too- you obviously need to talk to a professional. If money's an object, look into local counseling centers that work on a sliding scale and explain to them that you can't pay the insane therapy bills so many charge. Good luck and be safe.

Answer 7

Please clarify why you can't go the authorities or AA any longer.

Drinking w/ medication is dangerous and will have adverse affects such as the " rage ". But it sounds like you shouldn't be drinking at all. You must find a support group or get one on one counseling as your relationship and well being are at risk.

It doesn't seem like your relationship is the healthiest anyway.

I hope it all works out for ya.

Answer 8

My first suggestion would be to get rid of your boyfriend since you said he is on probation for assaulting you.No woman should have to deal with that.

The next suggestion would be to find things you enjoy doing either by yourself or with a group that don't involve alcohol or drugs.

Answer 9

It sounds hella fun at your place. I would like to bring the popcorn for the next time. Get a grip on them acleehol and pill combination. wooo hoooo.AA has their doors open for everyone. Go to a different location if you are embarrasses
