Welcome to the forums Vinny. I sobered up in AA working the 12 steps but have seen lot of people come and go. Couple of days ago, I heard that the son of a good friend of mine also in AA, drank and shot himself. Fortunately the bullet missed the heart but punctured the lungs. He is out of ICU now, breathing on his own. Feeling real miserable for surviving. Thats how ow Alcoholism takes us all. I don't know when the willingness comes to people to take action. I am sharing this not to scare you but to tell there is a way out. Millions of people in AA, CA, HA and other fellowship do get sober/clean and stay that way as long as they work the steps the best of their ability. Of course there are whole other options these days. The deal is, taking action.
