I’m struggling. I drink home alone and hide it from my fiancee and family. I’ve been drinking like this for almost three years. I want help so bad but I dont want to give it up. Please help me. I dont have alot of money to spend on help and I’m not religious so AA wont work for me.

I have since then done PC1000 drug and alcohol counseling Domestic Violence classes and finished 2 years of Drug and alcohol in house recovery. I have been clean for 5 years now and the reason i fulfilled the above mentioned is cause i had openly admitted my drug use from a case in 2006 in mesa. THese incidents happened way before that and they still want me to plea guilty to felonies…..its a class three for possession of marijuana (some crumbs)according to their Report an Aggravated assault with a hammer (class 3) and posesion of dangerous narcotics for the rolling papers (class 6). i am not trying to use my christianity as a cop out but honestly believe that I can prove to be a person who has made a turn around. I cannot afford an attorney and am a inner-city missionary at a church in Los Angeles…i got to court Oct 3rd to see what plea they offer this time is cause i refused the last one. Any advise please help!!!!!!

I was wondering if anyone knew of any good internet webpages that have people who “staff” it and can offer free counseling? More just every-day type counseling, not for drugs or abuse or alcohol or anything like that. Just someone to talk my problems through with (like family, relationship, etc.) who can give real, valid advice. I’d go somewhere local and in-person, but I often have my young toddler at home with me and somedays I just really need to talk to someone so e-mailing or live chat would work best for me.
If you know of any websites for this, I’d sure appreciate it.

You need to specify what state you live in. The best thing to do would be do a web search using the key words “your state alcohol and drug counseling licensure (or exam) and you should find links to it that way. If you’ll add your state, someone can probably give you the link. Good luck.
