After a 29 year relapse
Hello all I am Eric and I am definitely and alcoholic!
In 1984/85 in my late teens I was ordered to the program by the courts. Wasn't ready, I had too much misery to go through yet. On 10/18/2014 I had my last drink, and don't remember it at all. Though there will be legal repercussions from that night.
I bonded out of jail on the 20th, and went home to see the devastation I had caused to my place. I spent that evening and the next cleaning up and thinking. The evening of the 22nd,after work, I went to the place where I use to go on Wednesday nights for a meeting. Thank God for smart phones because the meeting had moved to another location...
Have been to a meeting and getting a support group of sober people around me every evening since.
Well here I am looking for more support as I can spend time on the internet while at work.
God bless you all

Welcome barefoot. If you want support and encouragement on your journey to sobriety you're at the right place.
It appears things are little rough right now, but if you put down the booze, things will almost certainly get better.
