Went to a party Saturday night to hang out with some friends n drink a few beers. Well a few beers turned into many as always because I suffer from alcoholism and don't how to control myself. Instead of spending the night at my buddies like I had planned, about 3am everyone had passed out for the night. Unfortunately, I decided I was ok to drive home...I was about 20 miles from home, jumped on the highway heading south instead of north. Traveling the right direction on the highway but the wrong way to make it home, I blacked out behind the wheel. I came back too right as I had bounced off the guard rail for the first time. Spinning out of control I hit the wall 3-5 more times. Luckily my stupid Ass was the only one involved n noone was hurt. Cops showed up, I told them right away that I was intoxicated n they escorted me uncuffed the back of the patrol car. My blood test came back last night n my BAC was .227.... I am in no way proud for the person that i have become due to alcohol. I will be turning my self in this week to a detox center so I can get my life straightened out....This was not only a huge lesson for me but I hope it will open some ppl's eyes here that might be goin down the same road I have been for the last 5 years.... Thanks for the support I kno I'm about to get n I'm truly srry for what I've done...
 
It seems like addictions are like that. You can tell someone a million times about how dangerous something is but until they do it themselves, they just can't get it.

Unfortunately, you have to screw up to learn how not to screw up.... My hope is that you straighten yourself out properly and this incident doesn't haunt you the rest of your days.
 
kudo's to your admittance to this
they say admitting your problems are the first step to beating them.
good luck bro !!!!!
 
good luck man i know the road u are on i was a hair close to being discharged from the military just 6 months due to alcohol no good bro...best wishes for you my man
 
Good luck! I know how hard this is for you and how hard its going to get. Ill say a few prayers for you that you make it through with flying colors. Stick to it no matter how hard it gets...not only will it make your life better but it will make the lives of others you surround yourself with better.
 
The first step is the only one you have to get right every day. Only eleven more to go.

"Rarely have we seen a person fail that has thouroughly followed our path" Ask me how I know.

The military is what triggered it I think....then the separation anxiety when I got out of the navy made it worse.....n then to top it all off my grandma passed away last year....haven't had a sober day since....I just to figure other how to cope with things instead of just numbing it....
 
thats a sign of growing up..learning how to deal with things instead of taking the easy route. Keep with it you will make it.
 
I went into business for myself accumulated alot of debt and of course stress comes with that .....then my new wife cheats on me yadda yadda "country song" anyways I sobered up was doing good then lost my mother in 05 man it was like a brick BAMMMMMM lost it....I am not completly worthless I work everyday pay my bills but its a never ending battle .....chin up bro you got it

This will ne my second time in rehab...hopefully it works out for me this time....
 
I know what youre going through I see it every single day. Its a rough life to lead...but by going in rehab you are taking a step forward. Not only will you be a better person but you will be better to the people in your life that love you. Its a rough road but stay strong and in the end it will all work out. Coming from my point of view (the person who loves an alcoholic) youre doing a good thing and only good will come from it.

That's part of the problem. Your trying not to cope with it threw drinking. I had the same problem when I was in my late teens. I've seen many people go down the same road and I must say your one of the lucky ones so far. You made a huge step by admitting you have a problem and wanting to get help for it. I think many of us are glad and proud that you want to take a step in the right direction .
 
Trust me you dont want what I've been through ....major binge, dry heaves, no food drink drink drink, eat puke drink drink drink, every morning puking pure yellow bile just so I could drink, for weeks on end, thats how bad I was before I met Blasterbabe70
 
I actually spent a week in the hospital bc I went through that same thing.....never wanna go through that again....
