Cheers to a new beginning, I hope.

Tuesday. Outpatient begins. My wife has said enough is enough. My HMO says first step is outpatient, so that is where I start. My employer? I am guessing a lot of "sick leave" in the weeks and months ahead so they don't know of my problem. The deck is stacked. It it truly stacked, against my addicted mind. I have been lurking here for so long knowing I need to get help. I have read of the struggles and successes here for some time, proud of all of you, but not of myself, wondering how you all do it. Now I think it has to be my time too. I am anonymous and feeling weak. In the days and weeks ahead, I hope to find strength in all of you.

I had to hit rock-bottom before I got the help I needed. Lost my career, DUI/legal run-ins, bankruptcy, eviction, relationships, and most of all i lost my dignity. Give it your all to beat this addiction while you still have a wife and a job to save. Congrats and best of luck in your recovery!

Thank you. I know this will be a challenge. I am not fooling myself and appreciate the kind thoughts. It means a lot right now, more than you know.
