I am so excited to have found someone who wants to help me,
Is that your reflection in the mirror? You need friends to support YOUR decision. I only hope what's best for you, oompa.

Good luck, I am glad that you are formulating a plan.

Remember...take one day at a time. Don't think about "what if's" for the next week...think about now and "what am I doing right this minute".

Oomp,
I am going to quote a paragraph out of the AA big book for you to think about. It is a quote from a doctor:
"Men and women drink essentially because they like the effect produced by alcohol. The sensation is so elusive that, while they admit it is injurious, they cannot after a time differentiate the true from the false. To them, their alcoholic life seems the only normal one. They are restless, irritable and discontented, unless they can again experience the sense of ease and comfort which comes at once by taking a few drinks—drinks which they see others taking with impunity. After they have succumbed to the desire again, as so many do, and the phenomenon of craving develops, they pass through the well-known stages of a spree, emerging remorseful, with a firm resolution not to drink again. This is repeated over and over, and unless this person can experience an entire psychic change there is very little hope of his recovery."
Try to break the cycle!

I want some of whatever Cognac is on.
Oompa, as much as I hope you are turning your life around, I cannot get as excited as Cognac. -

I really hope you are right for your sake.
The first and main thing you need to realize is that you are an ALCHOLIC........and nothing good will take place in your life until you surrender to that fact.
Quit being an ass and get the help you need. You keep doing the same thing day after day and expect different results. That's the definition of insanity.
Unless you do something for yourself.............YOU WILL DIE!
None of us here on JWD wants to see that happen to you.
