Finally, he needed it to function - drank to stop the shakes before leaving for work.

Alcohol took us down, destroyed our happy marriage, sucked the life out of us. He never was able to break free of it. He died 2 yrs. ago. I was sober for 3 yrs. once but picked it back up and was off for 7 more years of hell - dui's, ruined relationships, health problems. You can stop this collision course you may be on.

We'll be looking forward to hearing how it's going for you. It's great that you've made the decision to have a healthier life.
I know it had to hurt to share that with me, but thank you so much.
