I wet the bed

[Worried1]

I'm a longtime member of CF, er foru.ms but I'm using this sock because I'm too embarassed about this. I'm even using a proxy server so mods can't check my other user name at my normal ip address.

I'm an alcoholic and have been for many, many years. I drink daily - a lot. Last night I woke up and had wet the bed. This has never happened before - at least not since I was 4. Now I don't know if this is some weird abberation or if its something due to alcoholism that will comtinue. Anybody know if this is a symptom of chronic alcohol abuse?

I don't know if it's a symptom or not, but it seems to me that if you already know you're an alcoholic you don't lack for symptoms.

There's a lot of physical degeneration associated with alcoholism, and it's all bad. Seems to me that it's past time to get off the bus.

Hie thee hence to an A.A. meeting. We've got a chair and a cup of coffee waiting for ya.

Alcohol will slowly harm your kidney and liver, and the kidney maybe lead to what have happened on your bed.
U maybe need to see a doctor to make sure u r fine. And make a decision to give up this habit. Ask doctor for some medicine and Vitamin or so.
And get deliverance of your depression mental issues.

Hello there, hope you are doing well.

I am a recovering alcoholic. In my drinking days, I know of at least 2 times I had that happen to me. In my case, I think it was just having a very full bladder (gee I wonder why?!) then "passing out" to sleep, and being so out of it, that I was unable to rouse myself to make it to the bathroom.

If you think you have a problem with alcohol, check out an AA meeting. No one can really decide if you are an "alcoholic" or not....it's something you will have to determine yourself, but if you want to learn more about alcoholism and recovery from it we have thousands and thousands of meeting all over the world day and night.

God Bless,

hey Worried1! welcome to the Alcohol Recovery section!

This got moved here, as you know, as you will get more support and help for alcoholism in this section of Recovery.

It sounds like your admitting to yourself that you are an alcoholic and in need of help. Thats the first and one of the hardest steps to take to recovery.

Have you gone to ant AA m,eetings or perhaps Celebrate Recovery (christian based recovery similiar to AA)

here are various links to resources and help:

anytime you need to "talk", my PM is always open (when I am online of course!) or any Mod here would be more than hapy to help you.

as for your question: wetting the bed could be due to drinking, could be due to anything. Only a doctor can dioagnose thatI strongly recommend that you fo see one - go get a complete physical work up.

When I was in Rehab at Camp Pendelton (military rehab aint fun), there was some people that wore a "depends" type underpants during the night due to wetting the bed and their alcoholism but they were professionaly diagnosed.

Again, welcome to the Alcohol recovery Section!

Yea dont be ashamed of it; it takes alot of courage to come on here and admit something like that. It happened to me in my drinking days also - passing out after a night of drinking. Or it could be a bladder or kidney problem. The main thing is you recognize you have a problem with alcohol and are willing to admit it; I would deal with that and make it top priority then if the other continues seek medical help.

hey Worried1 - how are you doing? have you had a chance to check out your area for any meetings? have you gone to check out any of the links here?

Hey worried1,
That did take alot of courage for you to come on here and ask for some advice. That tells me that your looking for help for this problem you have. That's the first step is admitting you have a problem. It sounds to me like you may be ready for some help.
Help is available but you must become 'willing.' Thats the operative word and there are lots of nice people that have been just where you are at right now that have recovered from a seemingly hopeless state of body and mind.
I can only speek for myself, but I will say this, it only got worse never better during my drinking career. I told myself all kinds of things because alcohol lies to us. It makes us think things that aren't so.
I would have gone to any length not to feel.....and I did. Had I known sobriety was so awesome, I would have done this a long time ago. I was spiritually and physically bankrupt when I walked through the doors of A/A a couple years ago.
Life is so good today, I have never looked back. I would be lying if I said I haven't thought of a drink from time to time, but not nearly as much as I used to. It was so ingrained in me. I rarely give it a thought now.
Like they told me in A/A ..... it's as much a 'living' problem, then it is a 'drinking' problem. Alcoholics do not know how to take care of themselves, either that or they forgot how to take care of themselves. There is a reason why we engage in self destructive behaviour.
We come from all walks of life. Some where in our life we got a rezentment. Until we do something about the rezentment and all the character defects that attach themselves to those rezentments, there's not alot ANYBODY can do to help you.
Go to A/A....get a sponsor to show you how to live sober......find out what the rezentment is that caused us to drink in the capacity that we did.....go to work on fixing the rezentment and resolving it....and trust me....you will live happily ever after... problems and all. "Recovered" alcoholics are some of the happiest people in the world........because they know what hell is. They've been there and understand the suffering that goes with it. They will not hate you or judge you....on the contrary.....but rather keep on loving you until you can learn to love yourself enough to quit.
It's worth it and I would hate to see you be another casulty like my Dad, 2 of my brothers 2 of my sisters, it's really tragic and I come from a family of 11. Half of us are alcoholics and the other half good christians.
I have been set free.
"He whom the son hath set free is free indeed."
Give yourself a chance, your worth it, you may not think so now, but your a child of God and he wants you to be happy and not suffer. He loves you. The rest is up to you. It is 100% your choice. Nobody can do it for you. But there is help out there if you want it bad enough. Pick up that phone, wont you?

And if no one has told you they Love you today....I'll tell you.....I love you. God loves you most of all! Even though you may not think so right now....you will in time.

God bless you, find a meeting, good luck sweetheart, I'll be praying for you.
