Back again
Yep, round 4 I think. Good to see so many names I recognize. I had a huge, huge relapse and was drinking all day long for the last year or so. Literally starting at 6-7AM. I could not stop.
Well, I have some really serious stomach issues, I won't go into all the details, but I can not eat and have lost 30 lbs. I could drink still. GI, ER docs (been 4 times could not stop getting sick) and Primary care doc all say NO ALCOHOL!! My liver is in early stage of damage but it is not horribly serious. I drank for 40 years but for the 6 I was sober here. I am determined to do it again, I have to.
Look forward to talking to you all! Dee, if this is wrong spot, move it, I have been away for a while to remember the rules!
Don (AKA Drake because I wanted to be anonymous, either works!)

Great to have you back with us, Don. 
There's nothing quite like the support we get from those who truly understand us. You sound ready to get free. (I drank all day in the end too - it was hell.)

glad you have made it back. not everyone is so fortunate.
so whatever led to the big relapse last year...........was it worth it? did drinking solid for a year fix or change the situation, the event, the emotion? i ask because it is vital that we see that alcohol does not fix ANYTHING. it cures nothing. aids nothing. it's just a big fat deadly lie.
i hope you seize onto recovery for dear life and never let go.

Well i've been struggling with this illness, this is my day 1 again. I did a month sober in september i felt great, I think i thought yeah i've done a month so i can control this. Truth is I cant.
Just got to keep fighting it and believe I can get better. I just don't want to cause anymore pain to my family
