Hello everyone.
New to the boards, and just wanted to say that I have spent the last 4 hours reading a lot of threads, and must say that I have been extremely honored to read all the motivational, as well as saddening threads that are on this board.
A little about myself, I was a heavy drug addict and alcoholic for 10 years (Heroin & Speed) until 04/09/01 where I entered a drug rehab and began a long, and wonderful journey in sobriety. It is now 2012 exactly 11 years after that realization that I had a problem that I come to another realization. Even though I have stayed drug free since then, I started drinking heavily again 4 years ago St Patty's day (go figure).
It seems so much harder now to quit a substance that has allowed me to be functional in the working world where I have developed a relatively successful life compared to where I was 11 years ago (on the streets selling, and injecting hard drugs).
I guess what I am trying to say is, I think tonight is the last night I want to be drunk, I know that tomorrow I will pay for drinking too much (again) and I will crave and hunger for more around 5:00 when I get home. I firmly believe I am no longer in control of my life and MUST make that same choice I did 11 years ago.
Thanks for your wonderful stories!
Cheers,
IreLander
