Well here it goes I am not going to discuss in great length all the struggles, tribulations and negative experiences associated with my alcoholism. I will say that it has been a major ongoing problem for me. I have quit on several occasions for as long as 3 years. Just when I thought its defeated now. I would allow a problem to become such an issue I would turn to Alcohol to fix (temporarily of course)the problem. Only to see the problem get way worse ,(long-term). Bottom line is for me Alcohol equals failure. Sobriety equals success. I am sober today and that is a blessing. So that's my spill I won't go on and on.
Thanks for all the Inspiration past,present and future.

Glad you are here with new resolve. I thought that I could defeat alcoholism, but every time I tried to drink again. I was met with defeat. I came to realize that a drunk like me could not court any thought of drinking.

Today, I have no illusions and just say no to alcohol. I also had to work on issues that were my triggers.

Welcome back and good luck. We are hear for you.

Michael,

Welcome back. Willpower alone or projects around the house can't help keep someone sober. Investigate a program and get a support group in addition to this.

We are here to help.
