    • About Me

      Ive suffered depression for 11 years before seeking help. After a marriage of 21 years that ended in divorce which took 1 1/2 years. I felt devasted and started to drink heavily. Which in the end made matters worse. I felt that my whole life was worth nothing. Ive been thru rehab and mental hospitals. Life is a little better now.

      I enjoy the outdoors. Camping, picnicing, boating, midnite swims on a starlit nite, fires at nite, watching the nite skies, photography, and of course the computer.

    • Open Alcoholism

      Ive drank since I was a teen. Over the years I drank more and more. After a divorce from a 21 year marriage I was devasted. This is when I truely hit bottom. I have been thru treatment 6 times and the last time will be the last. I dont have another treatment in me. I have been clean from drugs for 3 years and sober now for 6 1/2 months and doing it without AA or NA at this point. Going to these meetings I started to feel more and more depressed. Most members all complained & whined all the time.

      Treatments

      12 Step Program Somewhat Helpful
      I did the steps. While working the steps I found that I dont really need AA to stay clean and sober
      AA Meetings Somewhat Helpful
      It helped in the begginning but I feel most of these people are to rigid. Most of the members Ive talked to have relasped many times. I can relaspe without AA.
