Nice going, Jim. Now maybe some hair will start growing again. But now that you have a small bit of sobriety behind you, what are your plans for staying sober? I may have missed it, but I can't remember you ever mentioning AA. Have you considered this as a way of maintaining your sobriety?

I might even suggest alanon for her, tho it sounds like in your case she might not be into that.
Bottom line is, you are an alcoholic....and you need to do what you need to do to stay sober Chad.
What does your sponsor think?

i have not gone to AA but my advice after what my doctor told me yesterday would be
DO NOT just quit without seeing your doctor first as i did this can be very dangerous ,i had very high levels of enzyme thingys??? and i should not of just stopped drinking ,could explain why i was in so much pain at first
the other thing i would say ia do go to AA ,I HAD NOT REALISED HOW MUCH I HAD BEEN USING BOOZE TO GET ME THROUGH THE TOUGH TIMES
i would honestly say giving up the phsycal addiction to drink was much easier than the lonliness and feelings of utter despair i felt
it was almost like i had died ,greif,sorrow,self pity,self loathing you name it i felt it but thanks to the kind posts on SR i realised that i was not alone and other people felt them too which helped me through the toughest times
the darkest hours dont always come in the night :c014
this song helped me thorugh it all
