MrBen

My hospital trip wasn't drinking related, it was an undiagnosed heart condition. Luckily nothing too serious, just a very unpleasant few days. I just thought I would let you all know I'm alright. I mentioned my drinking problem to the doctors and they put me up for counseling, which will be a big help. I relapsed yesterday when I got home, I guess the stress was just too much for me.

Only a couple of beers, so I didn't get drunk. But I'm not going to let that make me think I can keep drinking, all I wanted after those couple of beers was 10 more.

Day 1 starts again here!

Welcome back MrBen. Good to hear that you are ok. I think its great that you were honest about your drinking problem with the doctors. Speaking to my doctor helped me a lot. Glad you are back here posting. Wishing you well

Good to see you back MrBen

MrBen

Yeah, it's all related anyway. Because my high blood pressure (which is aggravating my condition) is caused by drinking and smoking, and I only smoke when I drink. Just because my liver isn't down and out yet doesn't mean I'm not going to mess myself up.

If you don't quit quitting one day it will stick.
