I've been away from the green screen for a couple weeks, because I made a huge decision for my life and my family.
Since college, I have been a drinker. At times, it was to get drunk, but mostly it was just because I enjoy alcohol. When my son was born, I decided to cut back and be more responsible. I was able to drink casually with buddies, have a few beers while I mowed the yard, pour a stiff drink to enjoy at night, etc. What I didn't realize was the chemical dependency that I had developed.
I tried to quit by myself several times in the last two years, but would start developing the standard withdrawel symptoms. So, then I also drank to avoid the symptoms. This is when I realized something was really wrong.
I asked God for help almost daily, and his voice overwhelmingly (almost shouting at me) was to get help. July 5th, I finally listened. I admitted myself to an inpatient detox program and am now healthier.
I know the battle is not over, but this new life is exciting. I have a great support group of family and friends, and am working out what other support I may need now.
God is good. Listen to him when you ask him something.
If you have questions about the help I recieved, feel free to pm. Have a great weekend, yall!
