Skeletor

I'm 30 years old, married with 3 kids, a great family. My oldest is a top student and my preschoolers are doing great in so many ways. My last beer was a week ago. And that was handed to me in a social setting without me being asked, I had a few sips, pounded the rest and spent 16 hours in bed with the sweats and the shakes drinking water by the gallon with the AC in my house cranked, in MAY! MY wife can't live like this! I need to just stop drinking for good and not try and just have a little bit because..... my body has gotten so sick of being abused by alcohol that a small taste makes me sick for 2 days.

Quite honestly, it was Rob Ford's story that got me to stop drinking in the first place. The news on the radio and television and me and my friends were kinda laughing and going well, maybe not crack, but I understand. And my wife and mom were just both, like disturbed, that we took such a cavalier attitude towards drunk driving and extreme binge drinking fueled with use of other drugs. But who hasn't had to pull over and **** in a park? seriously? Anyway, I haven't ever lost a job, or got in trouble with the law. I mean at least a few behaviors addicts and alcoholics have been living with like they're normal have been reported for the world to see and scolded harshly. I had a moment where I could foresee my life unfolding as his did, where all of my secret wrongs just completely destroy me. Fortunately, I have never done anything illegal, except for maybe **** in a park.
