Here we go again..
Thought I had the drinking under control - WRONG! It was just a matter or time before the law caught up with me and they did - would have happened sooner or later, I was careless and only thinking about myself and that next drink. Now I'm at risk losing my family and possibly my job. I never knew what emotional pain was until now - seriously considered ending it all a few days ago.
I'm leaving for treatment tomorrow and will stay until they tell me to go home. I will return and enter into an IOP and seek out a marriage counselor. My wife said she has very little hope and does not trust I can stay sober, but I believe I have the strength to get through this. I want to be the husband and father that I used to be and continually improve to become even better, stronger, healthier. I have supportive friends/family and am forever grateful. I CANNOT and WILL NOT F*** this up.
The facility I'm going to does allow us to have our laptops and phones in the evenings, so I will stay in touch and let you all know about my progress. Thank you in advance for you support SR family :*(

You've got this. You're username says it all, use this as a time to focus on you and getting sober. That is what you can control. Looking forward to hearing from you after you complete treatment.

It's day 12 for me without alcohol and I'm feeling pretty good. I really like the treatment facility that I chose and I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm coming to grips with the consequences that my addiction has caused me to have in my life and I know that if I can stay strong and SOBER, things will work out the way they are supposed to. More importantly, I will be able to manage the challenges ahead of me, with a clear head.
Thank you for all the support so far from everyone on SR. I hope everyone has a wonderful day/night!
