seven years ago today....
This is my facebook post:-
Seven years ago today, I was drunk and i had been this way for months. The drinking was steadily getting worse and Something in my fuddled brain told me it would get much worse. I’m ashamed to say suicide was looking a good way out, such was my despair.
The next day, January 9th 2011, I woke up and thought “what the hell am I doing, I’ve got two young girls who need me” I’m Proud to say I’ve not had a drink since and sincerely hope I never do again, as I certainly don’t plan to.
If anyone is really struggling with the drink please get help. Whether it’s your doctor, AA, SMART or groups such as Aquarius. The drinking will never get better only worse.
Thanks to everyone who has been there for me. You know who you are.
Peace ✌️
I've posted this in here as my story was in here and become quite a long thread. For all those struggling, their is hope but me must want to recover.

Have to ask; Did you post that to your Fb? Either way...Congrats! I'm only a year and although most know..I'm just 'not there yet' for full public outing. At 7yrs..I'd feel confident doing that. Not that I would,but that's some solid time! Good for you!
