Welcome aboard..

Been down that road... Once I went into alcohol dt's in jail.. And was found trying to kill myself by running head first into my cell wall.. Didn't know it, thought it was dream..

2 days later I woke up in the ICU with wet brian or Korsakoff's syndrome.. For me I am very blessed that the thiamine treatments worked and I came out of dementia state..

But the point of my story is after 3 days in the ICU and then 3 days in a regular room, I was released.. And being released with untreated alcoholism.. The alcohol was out of my system but I knew nothing about treating the disease..

That very night I was back at the bar, drinking my double shots of black haus and draft beers telling my story.. Wasn't till I got into AA and starting doing the work did anything change..

And it took months for the anxiety,fears,sleep, ect to all calm down.. I still shake a little but the doctor told me I most likely will. Because of the nerve damage I did due to drinking..

You just got that second chance at life, grab hold and don't let go..
