And since this has become my 2nd "home" just a moment to share, with the good friends I feel I`ve made @ RX. 30 freakin YRS ago tomorrow I was 43 and had lost everything. Family, home, job, self worth, everything. You see I was a drunk of the worst kind. Then a strange thing happened for no apparent reason. I say no reason because nothing about that Mon. was different than any other had been for the preceeding 7 yrs i.e. hopeless. And to this day I firmly believe that my Mom`s prayers were finally answered and her "Black Sheep" son was touched by a "Higher Power". I was put in treatment for about the 20th time, but this time when I when I walked out I stayed straight. I won`t go any further except to say in the intervening yrs I`ve had good times & bad just like all of you. The worst my little 11 yr old Grandson Anthony died this yr. That was tough! I shared that one w/you guys. So in closing in the 30 yrs I`ve survived cancer, a HA, and alcoholism (still working on that one). So if ND covers in the last 20 sec. so what I have seen far worse. And I Know ANYONE can do the same if I did it!!! Thanks for listening to this rambling tale and BOL to ALL!!!!!
keep it up!
silver...congrats man ...I never got into drinking
quick story when I was 19 and in the airforce I wake up one day in the barracks in germany where I was stationed and went out to the latrine..
when I opened the door I saw 8 airmen laying in there puke some sleeping and passed out and also some with there heads inside the toilet bowls and urinals with piss in it
that single event was enough of a shock to see that I did not want the drinking disease
best of luck !

Wil, my fellow in the daily struggle. Funny this last & final time it seemed easy. Strange. Congrats on 16, sure funny how different we see things now. I too have gained much, most of all insight. I know one thing I would long be in the ground if I hadn`t quit! BOL and keep the faith!
