First of all thanks for all the support! I know I have said some nasty things on this forum and I am truly sorry. My drinking got out of control about 3 years ago. I was a social drinker but it evolved from 6pm to 5pm to 4pm, then at lunch, then in the morning. My 35 year marriage was falling apart, I was embarrassing my family so I knew it was time and boy am I glad I did. I am a completely new person and wish I had done this sooner.

			What I found was the alcohol was covering up and taking the place of normal thinking, including handling problems, success, generally making decisions about everything. I quit the beginning of October, 1978 and it would not have been possible without a lot of help. Over the years I have had lots of things happen but so far none of them have been worth drinking over and that is the bottom line! Keep up the good work and be careful to not go too far the other direction.......

Lake, this is not sad news, it's great news, and you can still go "have a drink" with 126, but he won't be boozing, he'll just be enjoying your good company.  He'll be the one drinking something NA, that's the only difference.

			I am lucky to never have been drawn into that addiction as we have several what I would consider alcoholics in my family and my wife's. Keep it going and know you have support here as well as your real life family.

 I'm fairly sure that the above people don't wish you harm but its wrong to ask you to do things that works for them. You have to do what you need. This is one time where its OK to be focused on yourself so that you will stay sober. Don't worry about what other people will think. Some of my "friends" wanted me to go back to being the same fun guy I was before. They didn't care about what drink or drugs was doing to me. They just wanted me to be fun for them. Go "too far" if that's what it takes for you. I will gladly "offend" anyone that wants me to be what they want if it puts me back in bondage.
