DRINKING - ITS TIME TO QUIT.

April 10 will be 17 years clean and sober for me.My kids have never seen me take a drink and never will(just for today).
Once I quit dulling the pain and suppressing the feelings I used as an excuse I had to learn healthier ways to cope.
One wise old man in recovery told me why he didn't drink anymore.He said drinking changes the way I feel,and who I am.Today I like who I am and the way I feel about myself.Why would I want to change that?
Anyone who is WILLING to talk instead of use is welcome to contact me.
JFan,we had our differences over an item or two but I sincerely hope you find what you are looking for.

I'll bore folks with this one more time, but in my late 30's I found myself weighing 116 lbs at 6'2" tall with the start of liver problems and unable to function. My abuse of alcohol came close to killing me . I ruined my health, my relationships, and all semblance of self esteem.

It's been 28 yrs since that point and I'll credit faith, rehab and AA for a happy and fulfilling 2nd chance at life. To say I'm grateful is an understatement. If I can help anyone by listening, PM me.

Being a drunk is a slow , painful way to die.
 
It's shocking to learn/hear about how many 'functioning' alcoholics there are, many that wouldnt be noticed unless you were around them outside of 'business hours'

To all those that want to quit - godspeed, I wish you the most luck and success on your journey
Im not anti-alcohol, but I am anti people ruining their lives and have a great deal of respect for someone trying to better themselves.

The only time I remember him saying anything about drinking was about his wife being a drunk.
So, who knows? I know me and my wife were the recipient of some of his comments in
my prayer post about having the ronna. And not in a positive way.
