Health issues finally forced me to be Honest...

It was my heart attack that scared me into facing my alcoholism. Being in my late 50's and thinking about how sick I had made myself was the day I decided to turn my life around.

It's a very slow process. A few relapses this past year just made me more determined to keep seeking help.

Love reading on this site. Lots of good hearted folks who Know about this hideous disease.

Oh thank Y'all for the responses. The desire to live is what I focus on. Wanting to drink is still twirling around in my mind Daily. Meds I take to suppress the urges don't seem to help.

It's my stints in rehab , substance abuse counseling , attending meetings & yes finding this forum that is giving me strength.

Will look around the site & try to not get lost ~
