Morning Feller...Im an alcoholic...Phil..


Thanks for sharing...


And I certainly agree and identify with you...


An addiction..of any kind...can send everything and everyone around us..right out the door..


In AA we arrest our disease ..with a 12 step program..attending meetings...sharing our experience strength and hope with each other..and by not picking up a drink..one day a time..


Hope everything gets better for you....

I understand about being on the computer and the next thing you know it's the next day. I thought if I took an on-line college class it would help keep my mind off of drinking and other things. I have found myself on the poker sites and love playing.  I don't know if I am making any sense but I feel if I am sober it is alot better.


 


I know that might not make sense but that is better than being drunk.


I wish you the best.
