Been trying to quit for 17 years. Attended AA most of that time. 2 X 9 months abstinent in that time and many 3,4,5 etc.Hospitalizations, jail cells, rehabs all behind me. Fought this illness until i had no fight left. When wife,home,career,family,money and health gone i finally gave up the fight on 1/4/13.
I let go and let God because i was beat.
