Very encouraging post , your right we must keep trying .
I was talking to a guy from our village who drinks on the street every day . It was 0910 in the morning and I saw he was really suffering waiting on 10am opening time . I didn't mention anything about drinking as I know plenty of people try to help him . I felt his pain , that horrible hellish wait till opening time , ive been there . But even for him its not too late ,its never too late to seek help . I agree as you say dont try it alone talk to your doctor or call someone .
