BurntToast

I am starting over yet again. At 43 years old I don't think I will survive to see 50 if I don't make this change here and now. I have steadily gotten worse over the last 5 years and am on a path of self destruction. I quit on January 1st only to relapse 21 days later. I went another 17 days and fell off the wagon and and almost got my head run over by the wheel.

I am hoping this forum will give me an outlet and support as I make this difficult journey. I have a good job, great wife and two kids that I desperately don't want to lose.

We shall see.

Hang in there my friend, you can win this battle.. Admitting you have issues with your drinking is really the first step along your journey, kudos for posting.. Pulling for you, Burnt Toast... Classic handle btw...

Hang in there burnt! You can do this. We might have some setbacks but keep your goal in mind and don't beat yourself over the setback

You can do it, BurntToast. I drank all my life - and in my 50's I finally got sober for good. SR helped me to not feel alone - and to find the courage to change my life. I think it will be a huge help to you. We're glad you joined us.

Way to go Burnt. I know the desperation. I had my last drink last night and have been reading and on this forum all day for encouragement and support. You can do this.

We can all succeed, just keep the reasons close to you, burn them into your psyche.
As you drift of to sleep feel your resolve and your strength to commit to sobriety growing each evening.
Good luck all
