I am that kind of alcoholic too. Nobody had any idea about the magnitude of my problem. My wife was always on my back about "slowing down" but she didn't know the half of it. One of the things that makes me feel good is that I can now be open and honest with the people I love instead of sneaking around behind their backs.
I don't ever want to be the person who did all those things again.
Last night was a bit hard but then again, it was easy compared to living the life of an alcoholic. Now I get to wake up on the first day of the year hangover free and go out with my family and enjoy the day.
I'd just like to add a big thank you to everyone here. You have helped me to save my life for which I will be eternally grateful. With your help I have fought to carve out this second chance and it's up to me not to blow it!!!
Happy 2016 everyone!
