Hello Everyone:
I?ve been a lurking for a while and finally decided to post. I?m here for the same reason everyone else is ? AL. Although what I might have say is not as profound as what I?ve read on here, hopefully something will resonate w/ someone in a dark place. By way of introduction, I?m a 41 year old, male professional who?s battled w/ the sauce for many years; in retrospect, many more than I care to think about. My call to personal action was my wife of 18 years telling me she could not stand by and watch anymore. Luckily, I guess, I was already tired. Tired of planning around it, buying it, embarrassing myself and family, lying about it, thinking about it, making bad decisions because of it, etc?. I?m watching my hard fought life crumble around me and it is no longer acceptable. That?s why I?m here? I?ve been 2 days AL free and must say not too worse for wear and I realize I have a long road ahead. There?s much more to my journey, I?d be happy to share later. For now, I just wanted to say hello and let everyone know there are others fighting the same battle. Not sure if this posted in the right place or not???
