I can easily say today that my addiction to alcohol has done just that, it's taken all I have or have ever had to get to this point in my life. I've lost a great marriage, a good business, my self, my identity, my sense of who I am, all in the course of chasing my addiction. Thousands, and I'm not kidding, literally thousands of dollars have went in pursuit of my disease. It boggles my mind that I, a fairly intelligent man, would lay so much at the alter of alcoholism, that I would sacrifice so much in my pursuit of something that I've never been able to accurately determine whether I needed it or not.

It is a one way ticket to hell, and I spent my last dime on a ticket to hell so many times.

Today, I rather have a penny for health than a million for a delusion.

Well you have taken the first step toward the light and it was free.
Hang in there.

Here is where it ends, though. No more devastation and chaos. As Dee said, look to the future, don't let this disease rob you of that.

Anna

You don't need to go through this again.

WakeUp

Hang in there firestorm.

Be ready to "give it all you've got"... if you do, you will recover. Half measures avail us NOTHING...

You are gonna be fine Dallas. Good luck tomorrow, I'll be thinkin' of you.

I had a relapse in 96. I don't have any left. Truly, I was kept alive in spite of me. That is what my recovery counselor says. Its so true. I don't resist anymore. Our purpose is to help others now. There are days when I 'don't wanna play'....every time that comes up my HP places a funny delightful struggling person in my path. I love this life. Even financially broke.
