    Guy.

    Been following for this for quite some time. I have been in some very dark places over the years and can say this. Many people meaning well will always tell you that they understand what you are going through. By now you most likely know that unless they were in your SAME shoes they really don't know. However, the fact that you opened up and let people in shows that you are not as bad as you think!! That you are still hear is a testament to your resolve to beat the BS. Take this from a guy who thought all was against him and spent a year in lala land. YOU ARE DOING BETTER THAN YOU MAY THINK!!!!!! PM any time.

    Not to make this complicated but
    Guy, just remember your God or Higher Power can be any one you choose.
    Yes the Almighty Father, maby a Grandparent that has passed or your own Fathers Spirit.
    I truly believe we have lost loved ones and they are looking down on us.. I have been steered away from some bad situations from what seemed to come out of nowhere..

    Guy, have you tried a inpatient 30, 60, or 90 day program?
    I think you mentioned it somewhere here, so I am guessing you left early.

    If the 5.30 is a typo and it was .530 thats half your blood.
    Guy. Your Family Does Not Want You To Die.. You Will Destroy And Hurt Way More People Than You Think:(

    Your Family Here Doesn't Want You To Die.. Get medicated because you will go into severe seizure's..
    At this point you should be on a Benzo to help you through the rough few months and Antabuse ..
    You can deal with coming off the Benzo's in time..

    We have chatted more than a few times here. We're pals. I say this as a friend. You need a reality check. This thread is nearly five months old, little has changed. What you're doing isn't fair to your family or friends.

    You need to check into rehab. The help is there, take it. You're beyond a weekly AA meeting. Get to rehab or get your affairs in order.

    Joe is correct. Guy, my friend, it is time to bit the bullet and get some professional help. You are going to kill yourself or someone else.

    Phil’s right. I lost my brother to alcohol last year. Family tried. His first wife tried. His second wife tried. Doctors tried. He was hospitalized several times and told to stop or it would kill him. He lost his kids, several jobs, a lot of money, teeth, muscle mass, his ability to think and function and finally his life at 56. You’ve at least admitted you have a problem (my brother never did) but that’s not enough. Follow through.

    P.S. My post will self destruct in a few hours. You can always PM me if you want to hear my speech if you were too drunk to read it. I doubt you will listen, read it or do something about your problem anyway.

    I do hope you made it. Remember what I talked about 30 in 30. There are always meetings to go to. Stay strong and sober, my friend.

    Glad your still on the right side of the grass....
    It obviously is and was not your time. Take that as a positive and move forward.
    Glad you are on the mend.
