Hi folks, I have been off the forum for a while but thought to check in to see how some of the more regular members, such as Foxman, are doing. You know Donna, every person on this forum and those who are new such as yourself have many many things in common. Alcohol, prescription drugs and deep depression almost ended my life. I have now been alcohol free for almost 100 days. If you or anyone else were to ask me 100 days ago if this were possible, my response would have been an emphatic "no"! My secret? Well, God by far. The other is mY strength came from quitting one day at a time for my loved ones. My wife of 39 years could easily have left me for all the sorrow and heartache brought on by my choice not to seek help. Now Donna, help comes in many forms...mine comes from God and I do not consider myself a religious person. What I am attempting to convey is that perhaps if you do not choose to rely on God to help you, then do so for your loved ones. There is no power in this entire universe as great as unconditional love. Crypt keeper (aka David)
