on more of a personal note...

Just wondering if anyone here has gone through the hell of relieving themself of alcohol dependency..(the ingestible kind).. Over this past year and up till this past wednesday when I finally said enough was enough I seem to have fallen into that rut.. It's something you just don't see coming but once you realize how far gone you are.. it's pretty tough.. Not to pour out all my problems but I've just been through the typical marital and financial things that can cause a person to escape by drinking excessivly.. and I have been.. Putting a stop to it now and getting my life straighted out the way it used to be and better.. I've met a lot of good people on here and I'm sure someone has been through this and succeeded or is in the process like me.. There's no doubt I'll be ok but words of encouragement always help.. Saw my doctor today and he put me on some good nerve stuff to get me over the inital hump of withdrawls.. Hangovers were a lot easier to be sure.. I know this isn't an easy thing to talk about because no one likes to admit to having problems and I kept this to myself for about a year now.. Not asking anyone to publicly share a similar situation about themself but if anyone has been there and done this and can offer any advice a PM would be welcome... Now back to the Super Cars.. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

I am so proud of you to finally admidt this. Any time you need to just talk don't hesitate to call. I have been in your shoes and the first step is the easiest and the hardest.

Just call me anytime the urge try's to get to you. You have a good plan as per our face to face this afternoon and if you keep working on your Olds you will have plenty to do. Don't worry about the money. If you need something bad then let me know and I will see that you get it so that you can keep working.

Don't let the divorce haunt you. They usually only cost you everything that is important to you. Emma is still yours and always will be. The problem with the bottle is just a little hickup that sometimes you have to deal with in the course of your life and you are on the road to making it through with your head up high.

Always Your friend, if you need to just talk..!

Thanks Larry and everyone else who messaged me. I just reach the point I needed to take a different direction with my life and that involves super fast damn cars and dirty fingernails.. Not a 5th of Everclear a bag of ice and bottle of Gatoraid.. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif
