New life plan
Hello everybody. Safe to say that this isn't easy, but here goes. My family has a long history of alcoholism, and I didn't stray far. I started at 15 with just a few beers with friends that led to about 20 beers a day for the last few years. I have lied, stolen, lost jobs, and relationships due to alcohol. Now I have a wonderful home with a great support group. My fiancé and I decided to take the plunge and make this an alcohol free home. 21 days now. Xmas eve I had a seizure and went by ambulance. A few days later I had another and was admitted into detox. Liver count should be between 14-41. mine was an astonishing 226. walking dead. im 5'9 and weighed in at 107lbs. With a high calorie and protein diet plus exercise form all the extra new found energy I have now today I am 121lbs. It is a new lifestyle, and can be difficult at times. Always looking for something to do since I don't have that broken crutch in my hand. Allready we have saved about $315 without alcohol. Thank you for this site. The end result may seem unobtainable at times, but is well worth the feeling that YES we can have a normal life.

Hi jrocks. Welcome to SR - we're happy you joined us.
You've been through a frightening time - I'm so glad things turned out ok. You now are motivated to regain your health and lead a better life. You (and your fiance) have made a wonderful decision. You don't need that poison. Things will continue to get better for you. Glad you are here!

Thank you everybody for welcoming me with open arms. I would also like to thank my biggest supporter. My dad. Yesterday 2/18/14 was 29yrs sober. Congrats dad
