Last August I thought I was being discharged from the hospital when they informed me I was being involuntarily committed. Suicidal ideation .... Hated myself, my life and what I had done to myself with alcohol. I fought it...I was going home..stupid doctors, I wanted a drink....they called security, sent me in the ambulance, an probably saved my life. I have be sober since that day. I am on Antabuse and Lexapro (antidepressant) and feel great. The daemon is still lurking, but I am holding it at bay. Hoping that I can help someone and get some much need support. Thank you

Nillawafer - I am so glad that this intervention changed your life. I know there are other things to work on but you will get there.
I have a friend whose partner took his own life. Before that, she was desperate and asked if they would commit him, but they said it was not possible unless he agreed. I wonder would he have still been here......
Welcome here - looking forward to getting to know you.....

Eggggggcellent, sounds like you had a "rock bottom" moment, and you are using that as some motivation. I say it all the time as harsh as it sounds, I wish everyone with AL issues would have their moment, so they could move on with their lives without AL walking beside them anymore.

Thank you everyone. Yes Nelz, I believe that was my rock bottom. I am using some of the "cuckoo's nest" memories to fuel my abstinence. It truly was a horrible place...definitely something out of my norm.
