Just heard yesterday that a friend of mine who has alcohol issues lost it while on a bender recently, handed his 16 year old son a pistol and told him to blow his (my friend's) brains out. The kid is scarred for life now, freaked out beyond belief, and he'll never look at his dad the same way again. Being a slave to alcohol - or anything else - is no way to live. You're better than that. You seem like a great guy, I wish you good luck. |

Been there. The only thing harder than sobering up was not sobering up. Best of luck to you.

Your not a wimp or pussy nor any other negative BS. Everyone here has something they struggle with.
I’ve seen a lot of friends and family struggle with alcoholism. Every single one fell off the wagon at some point, even after years. You got this. Anything I can do, you got my contact info. |

Good on you SR. And laying it out for us means there's credibility, accountability, and responsibility. That will help.

Best wishes man. If you ever decided you want or need to do the 12 step or formal recovery thing, I actually know several really good dudes in the program in Atlanta(that’s where you are right?). They’d be more than happy to help you out.

If you've been able to quit drinking for years, then quitting is not your issue. Be honest with yourself and try to identify the TRIGGER that pushes you back, and eventually out of control and in the same hole. Find out what that is and take THAT to God and ask for help in defeating it. God Knows the desires of your heart. He can and will help you. Finally, seek His favor, rather than favor of men.( though it always helps to have the support of family and friends, no doubt!) P..S I'm VERY confident you can achieve this. |

Take some extra Vitamin B complex. Alcoholics often have deficiencies in them from drinking. Better yet, get tested by a functional medicine doctor who can write a requisition for some blood work that includes a whole nutritional profile to build-up your health.
You take care SimplyRed. I understand what it's like somewhat; grandpa, an uncle and a cousin have been alcoholics. |
