I would like to add that I AM the ALCOHOLIC...and i was the one to pick myself up and change myself..NO one supported me (except for some close friends)..I stopped drinking, cleaned up my act and my house. all while keeping my job.
it's amazing how many simple tasks you can accomplish when you are NOT drinking. You can wash your floors, bathrooms and toliets, throw out accumulated junk. You can grocery shop, clean closets, wash clothes, dust, change the bed linens, vaccum. you can plant a garden, grow tomatoes and you can cook dinner (or get it ready if you can't cook~and you can LEARN to cook). or you can drink and not do anything.
my insurance carrier gaveme a list of counselors that were participating in my plan and accepted my co-pay of $15.00 a week..when I started it was 3 sessions a week..cheaper than a bottle of wine.
