[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1229481, member: 85785"] Hi, Your post is shocking reminder that sometimes you get the shifty end of the stick, you have a dependency on all things that are addictive and hopefully before it's to late can steer yourself away from the downward spiral. I can so relate to the alcoholism as it is rife in the wife's family, her brother died aged 33, with acute alcohol poisoning, a very similar story to yours. Her father is alcoholic and lucky to be still with us, her uncle's have died because of alcohol related problems, her sister has had the big warning, and so on! It's definitely in the genes! But as her other sister and the wife herself has been festival for twenty years, her other brother is a reformed alcoholic, so it can be done! I think you have the reason to be well again despite the falling off the wagon episodes, maybe because, now you have to inject and be more positive about your health, you have had a right good kick up the backside. You need to look after your health. Hopefully you can get a referral to counselling. That would be such a help to you, they do great work and try to get you back towards a decent life. Finally, if you have stayed with this, it is not your fault, any condition wether it's diabetes, drugs, alcohol even eating disorders is that, a condition, you can't help it, it's your body reacting to what your brain is telling you. It's temptation for an easier mind state. It can be overcome, with help and a mindset and lifestyle change, there is hope! Best wishes on your journey! [/QUOTE]
