cornered by alcoholism.......my heart goes out to you..

BUT thats not really gonna help you is it...for me it didnt anyway and i got pretty good at getting sympathy as long as they had some money to lend me.

Its easy for me to see a solution...but then again im on the outside looking in.

This is a suggestion...a plan if you like..if it helps great...

First and foremost get to a doctor...be 100% honest about your drinking.
Do what ever he suggests to de-tox from booze..and i mean anything..
DO NOT attempt to stop without medical intervention...
I have been detoxed with medical intervention because of my chronic alcohol addiction...
Before detox my doctor told me NOT to stop till i was in there care...

Next, once your sober...get to AA as soon as possible...remain open minded..get a sponsor and start doing the 12 steps..
IN FACT YOU COULD PHONE THE AA HELP LINE WHILE IN HOSPITAL AND THEM WILL COME AND VISIT YOU..they do in the uk anyway.

This is how i got sober....and more importantly how i stay sober..

Some years ago i was a hopeless bum.....begging on the street....living hand to mouth...in and out of jail.
Long hair ..beard and stinking like a dung heap...i couldnt go an hour without alcohol.

IT IS POSSIBLE TO LIVE A HAPPY AND FULL LIFE WITHOUT BOOZE..but you gotta want it with all your heart..

You need to start this plan NOW dont become one of the ones that dies and there are plenty...

Leaving behind loved ones.....sons...daughters...mothers ..fathers..

YOU DESERVE MORE THAN THIS.....and its all there for the taking.....

God be with you..direct you...and keep you safe.............trucker
