Two Questions for All You Recovering Alcoholics
I've never posted in this forum before, as I tend to call the Friends and Family of Alcoholics forum my home. But I thought you all could best answer my questions.
1) What one event or series of events led to you finally reaching your bottom?
2) My alcoholic boyfriend, Richard, who has been drinking for 40 years, just entered a two-week residential alcohol treatment facility yesterday, just six weeks after he nearly died from a combination of alcohol related pneumonia, congestive heart failure, diabetes, liver and kidney failure. What's the chance that a two-week residential program can help him reach and maintain sobriety? It just doesn't seem like enough time to me.
I'd welcome your feedback.
