What I have losted and gained.
Hi Everyone,
Been lurking for quite sometime. Love the honestly here. My heart goes out to each and everyone who struggles.
My DOC was alcohol, actually beer. I did not drink everyday, was a binge drinker and drank alone. Almost 5 years ago, I went to work drunk and was reported to the Board of Nursing and had my license suspended for a year. Really do not remember all the details, but looking back now, I'm so blessed for this intervention. At the time I was forced to go to treatment and AA and it saved my life.
Had a few DUI's and I thank God each and everyday that I did not hurt or kill someone, like you read so often about or hear in the media concerning a fatal DUI accident. That could of been me! " For the grace of God, go I."
Not only did I lose an income for a time, but I almost lost my marriage and my son's respect. I again thank God, that both of them stood beside me.
What I have now is love and support of family and respect of self and from peers. No more hiding. No more hangovers. No more shame. No more wondering what I did or did not do, or who I called in the wee early hours.
I'm truely glad that I found this site and would love to continue to share.

thank you for sharing!! it feels so good to hear others tell of success--i want so bad to be able to have a success story to tell. i've been trying to quit on my own for years, i've finally found the courage to ask others for help, and being able to read hear is helping me more than i've ever thought possible
i will not drink today.
