42 days is exactly double the best I could manage on my own power. Well done. I just skimmed over your posts for that time, and you fought your way through some very difficult and trying situations.

The thing that struck me was that there didn't appear to be anything going on that would treat your alcholism however. You almost made it to a counsellor, but not quite. The fact that it took so long, longer than you could actually last on your own, to make some moves about treatment, suggest to me that treating your alcholism does not perhaps have as high a priority as it should.

The great thing is you are still alive and this event can serve as a stepping stone to success, but only if you learn from it and act on what you learn. Most of us here found we had to make sobriety our number one priority. Without it we know there would be nothing else. Like Dee said, perhaps you need to add more to your plan.
