I am a fifty year old alcoholic and former abuser of many substances that allowed me to escape into a perceived state of worth. After the years of abuse my liver was destroyed by cirrhosis and ended in having a transplant done. I have been clean and sober for three years and can now see I did not need the booze and heavy drug usage to know I was a worthwhile person. Most of my life has been involved with every aspect of the construction trades since turning sixteen years old. The time has come for me to start afresh and understand that I have a useful purpose in this world. My first new steps were difficult but they shall not be a determent. Life is great, now someone please wake Bush up and show him reality.
great to have you here whiskey man! Even more awsome that your sober. Keep it up man. Please, chill here with us peaceful folk.
I'm happy to hear that you realized how much you actually value life now. It's a shame this eye-opening expierence happened the way it did, but with each tragidy come a lesson. ...When I was 15, I was on probation and was sent to a rehab, group home, hospitals, and juvenial detention facilities. I spent 2 days shy of a year away from home and in those places. I was an emotional wreck, but now I'm 17 yrs old and 1 1/2 years clean. Keep up the sobriety whiskeyman! Stay in the euphoric state of mind rather than the "what-the-hell-happened-last-night-dude" state of mind. -Faith
Hearing you share your tales of triump enlightens my heart. YOU CHOSE LIFE ! And I really admire you for that. It's a wise decision that you are never too old or too young to make. I'm proud of you Whiskeyman, and you too euphoria. PM me anytime to say hello. peace August xx
