I also welcome you and appreciate your service.

I understand what you're going through. We share a commonality and that is our body suffered repercussions from our drinking that said RED FLAG!

Legal problems, mental problems, family/relationship problems -- well they come along too eventually. But when the body gives out there is no more comfort in drinking.

I used to have heart palpitations and sweats at night from drinking too much. Then I gave myself a nasty stomach ulcer and it is very painful. To make matters worse I developed a bacterial infection which requires lots of meds to clear. Consequently drinking aggravates the daylights out of it. Now I have no choice but follow dietary restrictions and not imbibe. So not even a little. Nada. Drove me crazy at first. But I'm here too for support so I can heal my mind/body and not return to destroying by poor body. It's been through enough.

I hope you return to good health and keep coming back...
