Just like the others have said Rod, take it one day at a time. I'm going to
NA and AA classes once a week and it does help. At 1st I thought it was
BS, but it didn't take me long to realize that most of the people there were
just like me. And it's just amazing how I can relate to the stories people tell.
Believe me bro, you're not alone. If you happen to slip up and fall off the wagon, DO NOT give up! We're all with you. PM me anytime and I'll be more
than happy to talk with you.

Rod even though i agree with Bob that you ur a asshole
. "Just jokin with ya bro."To admit you have a problem with control over a substance is the best way to try and fix it and i wish you luck. And my advice would be cross adiction with using something constructive and not destructive.
In other words forget about all that other macho shit and learn how to play guitar!

FTW, well at least you have a good reason for your oppinion of me as an asshole, unlike that asshole BS.
Pred and THL, thanks for the words of encouragement. IT greatly appriciated really encouraging.

Good luck Rod as you trudge the road of "Happy Destiny". For myself it was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life giving up drinking and drugs also. The first 30 days detoxing were the worst ever locked up in a treatment center. I for one can say I never wanted to become out of control...began drinking and taking drugs as it was a way of life where I am from, started all this at the ripe ole age of 13. Still remember it like it was yesterday. By the time I barely made it out of high school, I was totally out of control, didn't see that until a few years later, heck everyone around me knew my problem, except me. I just plainly lived in denial. At the age of 23 I had enough, could not live with it our without it and to top it off I thought that my life was over as i sat in my first AA meeting. That was 17+ years ago and my thinking since then has changed, shit none of my old life is the same, my location, my job, my wife...all is different, what happened to me in AA is a complete change, One that is needed if I were to recover. Rod as some have shared with you tonight a few things are real important when beginning a new life without alcohol and for me they were a 1) Sponsor, 2)Meetings, Meetings and more fricking Meetings...heck they are even non-smoking these days LOL, maybe one a week when I got started, 3)Power Greater Than Yourself (Does not include oneself), 4) Fellowship with others who share our common goal and who have been where we have. There are many others but this was a good start for me. Watch closely to your thinking as mine in the beginning kept trying to tell me I had no fricking problem as stay away from slippery places, its like hanging out in a barber shop, sooner or later I will get my hair cut. You're in my prayers this evening brother!

Welcome Brother- Keep Coming Back B/c It Works When You Work It. I Found The Rooms At 19 Years Old And Will Be Sober 7 Years On 6/27. The Things That Will Happen In Recovery Are Beyond Your Wildest Dreams. I Like To Think That My Drug Habit Kept Me Alive Long Enough To Find A New Way Of Life.
LETY ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO AND FEEL FREE TO SHOOT ME A PM AND I CAN PASS MY NUMBER TO YOU.
KEEP IT SIMPLE AND REMEMBER RECOVERY IS NOT JUST SITTING IN A MEETING. RECOVERY MEANS CHANGE.

I was watching ESPN Classic and they had the Life of Bret Favre............he had been a very heavy drinker for many years. Finally his wife told him, "enough is enough. Either you give up alcohol completely, or our two kids and me are leaving........I will divorce you".
Bret's exact words as he looked into the ESPN camera "Alcohol has never done me any good. I don't need it". And like that Favre has remained sober for a good long while.
