My last drink
Alcohol killed my father. Sure want to make this post different and interesting. As much as I hated to admit it for 40 years alcohol was a major part of my life. Through 18 years of my first marriage I was able to keep it to a point that I really didn't think it was a problem. Then after my wife and splitI because I was on able to give her children, I was on my own. Was is a graphic designer,after many other types of work but became a bar back part time at my favorite place to be...the bar.I got real good at it and was soon a bartender just like my father. Eventually I had a bar, and use the next 10 years to drink as much as I want and do all the drugs I had refrain from doing well I was trying to keep my life together. When I hit 50, I regrouped and alcohol became my thing. As I try to improve the kind of person I was, Ikept recognizing the need to be a better person. I did everything to rationalize away to keep drinking but feel OK about it. I got to the point of stopping at the liquor store six nights a week picking up a bottle for Sunday on Saturday and drinking a pint of hundred proof Vodka or thin all over onion and remove extra chilled straight up every night when I went to bed and watch TV till I passed out. By now I was about to hit 60 and when I would wake up once or twice a week with a bruise or not remembering the last bit of the night I realize I was not going to sleep but passing out. It's then when the story really gets interesting but I don't want to overdo it on my first post. My finding this website really came from me looking up the words that best describe what I went through that night I decided to quit drinking forever. I found out that wasn't DTs but rather alcoholic hallucinosis. I guess that's where the story gets interesting. Maybe I'll finish it if anyone wants to hear. Ultimately I'd like to hear others experience from going through the same thing.
