Eureka,
I agree with Dee. Success in this has a lot to do with desire. Honestly, I identified that I had a problem about 5 years ago. One night while wacked out of my head on Jimmy Beam I started searching for AA meetings in my neighborhood. I woke up the next morning hung over… and as soon as I fought off the hangover I thought, “Hey, see, I can handle this…” and that’s what I thought for the last 5 years. The truth is… I can’t handle it... I just thought the lifestyle change was too difficult to make.
Eureka, you’re here for a reason. You may be where I was 5 years ago… just know that there is a very diverse group of people here who are going through the same thing. We all have different stories and reason that brought us here… but we’re all here leaning on each other. And we’ll all be here when you need us.
