Well today I decided too speak about my problem more with my fiance and it felt good that I have finally said it too her that I am a alcoholic. I guess we both already knew there was a problem there and that I dont look at alcohol in the same way as others do. She didnt think I was a alcoholic because I’m not dependant on it. But I have been in the past I had severe withdrawals once when I had been drinking for 4 weeks straight and then I joined a ship where i couldn’t drink and ended up in hospital. But that was in my old relationship with my ex who i have my 9 year son with that was a drinking relationship. My fiance now doesnt really drink at all so I think she has saved me I would probably be dead if I didnt meet her and have our beautiful 2 year old daughter. I’ve come along way since then but still not managed too stop totally. Me saying I’m alcoholic too her means that I have someone too understand me as much as she can. And she will be there too support me all the way. I think we all have a destination too get too and some of us take different harder paths or the wrong paths only you can turn around and find the right one.
Good you came pitt and said it. Now you can begin to find the right path for you and your family. Not to be a downer on what is such a big step, but what is your next step to stay on your right path?
I’m going too go too meetings once I can get out again but untill then I’m going too keep motivated and busy I’m bk at work next week so that will keep me occupied and when I get a urge too drink I’m going too read about addiction and the dangers of it. I’m getting into my fitness again aswell so this will help also.
Listening to aa meetings on YouTube is helpful too. I’ve heard Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughan on there. When I think of how many people are trying to get/stay away from drinking it’s overwhelming.
The truth is, you can do it to Kieran; you’re stronger than you think.
Hi Donna nice too meet you. Thanks that’s a great idea I will do that tonight when I lay in bed hope you are well
