How quickly did things go downhill for you?
How quickly did things go down hill for other alcoholics on here?
I am pretty sure many of you had similar experiences to mine, but I can’t help but ask because I’ve really been stunned by the events of the last year. I’ve always gone to the doctor regularly, gotten all the blood tests which turned out optimal, and then in the last year the s**t hit the fan. In one year I’ve been through three inpatient detoxes, three hospitalizations for acute pancreatitis (two or three night stay each time), numerous ER visits, have an enlarged liver, reprimands at work, and less contact with family. Ironically I’ve had more sober time this year than in the last five, but I’ve had the health problems. I’ve gotten more involved with AA each time I stopped drinking. I’m hopeful that, after getting over any physical dependence, I will be able to stick with the program for good this time.
