User ID: 8803830 United States04/30/2014 08:36 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've been an alcoholic since my 20's, I'm now near my mid 30's. I've done the whole detox thing, fell off the bandwagon after a month of sobriety and began drinking again. Last Saturday night I decided I was tried of living the life that I was living, which really I wasn't living life at all. Quoting: Jay 57478106 I finally realized that if not for my drinking problem, I could live a comfortable life. I have a great job making good money, but because I spend all my money on alcohol I always found myself financially struggling. I realized that it didn't have to be that way, that if I give up drinking, my account would build up quickly and I would have money to do things and take vacation. I was tired of always feeling sick. Today marks my 4th day of being sober. The difference this time is, in the past I tried to become sober for other people... not me. This time though, I'm ready for this and I want to do this for me, not for anyone else. I'm 100% dedicated to this.  So proud of you!  |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 32397903 United States04/30/2014 09:08 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Good luck, OP. Three years ago this April, I stopped drinking, drug, smoking, and dipping. All on the same night. Drinking was what had me. In 18 years, the longest I went without drinking was 3 days. I used to think I was only hurting myself. It's when I came to the realization that by hurting myself, I was also hurting those who loved me. That fact and the grace and mercy of God drug me out of that pit. I wish you success, OP. Stay strong, stay focused, and have faith in the Lord and you'll be set. |

Just remember, when 'a day at a time' gets too difficult, try a minute at a time, or a second at a time. Please find an AA group in your area because it really really helps going through this when you surrounded by others who struggle with the same issue. Sending you hugs. YOU CAN DO THIS!!! |

Take your place with the creeps you belong with. Good money is over 100,000 per yr. A house costs 1.5 million now. Booze is cheap, its for cheap ppl and good money would buy enough booze to kill you and your whole family tree dating back to creation. You will never meet me, by chance I saw your post. I've tried pretty much every drug and drink invented by man and have doctors who have written statements [for immigration purposes] saying I have no addiction traits in my character. More I prayed all my life that GOD would be my ONLY addiction. Cheap lies.

I don't drink anymore. I don't know if you're working a program, but they are in most cities if you need it. Best wishes! They say that if we do not learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it. They also say that history is written by the victorious. What I have learned from history is that the recorded accounts of humanity's past are nearly always manipulated for the benefit of the current ruling power's agenda. Put faith in your own personal history, or submit to the future of another's. |

It was hell and wasted 2 adult lives not to mention the effects on the kids. It is a path that leads to nowhere but destruction for all involved. I'll be praying for you!! You can do this!! |

Quoting: JE5U5 CHRIST Good money is over 100,000 per yr. A house costs 1.5 million now. We're in disagreement when it comes to what is defined as "making good money". I don't make anywhere close to $100,000/year, but I consider myself to be making good money based on various factors such as being single with no kids, where I live and cost of living. |
