hi

that's interesting
never missed work, cheated, stolen anything, missed days at a time on binges
all in a alcoholic coma,
as in passed out, in a fog, a little bit tipsy, dead drunk, DUI
"i'm innocent, your honor, the cop has a quota of tickets to give out"
"sorry, honey, the other guy passed the red light and hit me"
yet, your wife and child have left because of your drinking
"love, honor and obey....." as in marriage vows
isn't that cheating or lying or conning someone to marry you
i'm sure you do so much for them, your community, your job, your church
you are only able to knock off about 6 - 8 cans of bud a day
not to mention the three 40 oz. colt 45's on saturday
while you help with the household chores, fix the house, do the gardening, teach your son to hit a homerun at the little league, help him with his homework, school project,etc
just the fact that "your wife and son are the only ones that really matter"
so much for mom, pop, sis, friends, and GOD
is a "johnny walker" delusion in itself
don't mean to be sarcastic
talk from my own experience
so a few LOL"s
but go to a meeting and listen to the last part of the qualification
like i did
where someone will share
"i got a job............"
"my wife came back............."
"i know now i'm an alcoholic............"
"i love AA............."


best

it's time to face the fact
make meetings, meetings, meetings
to get your wife and son back
put down that keg of beer
it time to give John Barleycorn the boot
and say, "get out of here"
even then there are is no guarantee
but
at least from alcohol you will be free

it's a long and winding road
there is no easy way
but
you can get the courage to "AT A TIME, ONE DAY"
live life a brand new way
