ok its time to say the truth

Over the past few years ive had ups and major downs. Ive said im doing ok when reaĺly im not.

So here is the truth. I was doing ok. Wasnt drinking etc. But on september 14th i had a huge argument with my other half. I used that as an excuse to get wasted then i got arrested. for drink driving. I was over 3 times the limit. I had to be restrained on the ground. I was an idiot.


I got 2 years ban. 12 months probation. Forced Alcohol councilling and a 1600 pound fine.

Now you would expect that i would have took that shock and sorted myself out but i havent. Im now drinking neat vodka. 24/7 my family have quite rightly dissowned me. I xont want pity.

Tomorrow my car will be sold so i can go rehab. Im booked in. I just have to sell car so i can afford rehab

Im so sorry.

Selling your car and going to rehab sounds like a very positive step. Give yourself credit for that!

We have all made awfully bad decisions which it seems you have taken responsibility for your's. At this this point, there is nothing more you can do. Kudos on being responsible enough to do the right thing for you and your family.

Thanks for sharing with us and please keep us updated on your progress.

Hey boris- It sounds like things aren't so good for you right now, and I just wanted to offer my support.

The rehab might turn out to be a lifesaver in the long run, and these mistakes will be just a memory in time. We've all made mistakes due to booze, so IMHO, no apology necessary! Just focus on getting yourself better!

-Hang in there.

Boris, It's hard to see it now - but this is where the nightmare ends & a new life can begin. You're doing a great thing by admitting what needs to happen. We're all with you as you reclaim your life.

Boris, just want to wish you the best of luck going forward. I know it may seem hard to find anything positive in the situation but you can turn this into your ticket out of the alcohol nightmare for good. Try to remember that none of us cam change the past, the present moment and each new one that arises is all any of us has to work with.
