Buzz,
Know that you are loved, supported and will have a hundred angels watching over you as you take this journey to recovery. As the sister of a brother who was also an alcoholic and with the diabetes lived an all to short life, a woman who almost married an alcoholic and a wife of a social drinker (who finally quit when he realized it was going to shorten his life because of his heart condition) I know that the journey you face is difficult and will be full of pit falls. Just remember, it's a disease that can be beaten, treated and with the right support never to return. Never be afraid to ask for help, support or inspiration from this board or any group that you choose to join after your rehab. We are all here for you, I personally was never offended by you, only helped by your kind, encouraging words and now I am here to return that favor. Good luck my friend.

I'm here for you, Bro. I've had my share of battles with that Demon as well, and have been fairly successful in mastering my relationship with alcohol. You're halfway there already. We'll help you with the other half.
Peace.

I missed this thread yesterday and just wanted to offer my support. I've enjoyed chatting in DPC Fanatics and want to wish you strength and hope for the coming months and years. This won't be easy but the hardest step, acknowledging the problem and deciding to do something about it, has already been taken.
Good luck, Timothy!

congratulations to you for taking the hugest strongest step in fighting this disease. My brother had to also hit rock bottom before he got any help. He is now sober (3 years) and doing really well. It can be done. Keep on posting here and let us know how you are doing. I am here to talk to as i am sure many others are too.

On a lighter note, why is it called "Alcoholics Anonymous" when the first thing you do when you get there is stand up and say your name??
Never quite worked that one out...
Just kidding mate, good luck, wont be easy, but defintely worth it (only ever had to give up the ciggies myself, did it 2 years ago, cant for the life of me think why I liked them in the first place now!!??!)

Buzzrock -- I went through some tough times with drinking myself, and I found strength in what became more or less a mantra -- "I know this is going to suck". It helped me because I was acknowledging that there are no easy routes, no way to cheat it, and no escapes. I used the same to quit smoking as well. And, the hard part is that life WILL get worse before it gets better -- and it DOES GET BETTER -- changing ANY habit is like that. But if you know it's gonna suck, you can get through it.
It gets better, and just know that you will never "win" -- I still want both more or less every day -- but it's like having your wisdom teeth out: the pain subsides, but occasionally, you find your tongue fishing around where the bad, broken old teeth used to be... and life goes on.
Feel free to PM me if you want.

My father was wealthy, handsome, charming, had a beautiful wife and three daughters. In business he carried himself with dignity and was well respected. He was tough and athletic, but he didn't have your courage. My father died a gruesome and very undignified death caused by liver failure before he was 60, leaving his daughters with horrible childhood memories.
I am happy to see you taking the right road! Do It! For yourself and your friends and family! My Best wishes and prayers are with you! |
