Thanks for your thoughtful words...and bless you too, Poet. Fortunately, my sister did not have any children, but it is an issue within our family.
Stay strong and keep your life.

Rob, I didn't read the whole thread...I remember when you first posted this. What I wanted to know is if you asked permission before you put this on the public forum. I really hope you did, because if not, it's a terrible betrayal of trust. I don't care if it's anonymous.

Why don't you at least read the initial post where he gave me permission?
Of course I wouldn't have posted such a thing without being asked. What made you post such a malicious comment?

OOPS...I read this at least three times, but somehow didn't see that last sentence. I apologize. Carry on.

Hugs back, Fatima. I am so sorry for your loss. I know how hard this has been for my mom, watching her daughter slowly kill herself, so I can definitely relate to the nightmare it must have been for you. I have two little girls and it breaks my heart to even think about it. It's such a waste.
Stay strong.

I am sure someone mentioned 90 meetings in 90 days.

My condolences to you and your family.
Perhaps her story will cause many still suffering alcoholics to take an honest look inward.
To: 2111USMC
Thanks, 2111. I can only hope that at least one less family has to go through what our family has gone through.

To: RobFromGa
I'm a very proud, spiritual Christian, but I'm even too ashamed to pray, at least at length, since both He and I know that I am the problem. Get over the pride and get right with the Lord, and you can't do that without talking with Him.
You both know the problem, He is the solution. GO to Him in humility, and ask for his help. If God freed the Hebrews from bondage in Egypt, He can handle whatever chains you have and make you truly free.
One more thing. Wrap your head around the idea (if you want to succeed) that YOU DON'T DRINK. Someone offers, you can thank them, but no, "I don't drink.", matter of fact, no condescending attitude, no regrets, that is just the way it is, no biggie. If they (or you) are left feeling awkward, graciously ask for a soft drink instead.
No alcohol beer? Why drive smelling like you are drunk, even if you are not?
As for the liberals and idiots, yep, they were always there. Depressing? Sometimes. Handle it. Remember, "There, but for the grace of God, go I".
Praying for your success.

(How often God must weep at humans' folly.)
To: not-alone
My mother died in 1995 at 66 from a combination of factors, most directly attributed to her alcoholism. She weighed 85 lbs and the medical staff thought she looked 85.
She didn't really drink until she got into her 40s, but for some reason her body couldn't metabolize alcohol very well, so her liver became damaged quite quickly. By that time she was addicted, though.
After my father died, she just quit pretending she wasn't a drunk, went rapidly downhill, and died 18 months after my father.
I truly believe it's a disease, with a very strong genetic factor. My father also drank, but he could quit periodically (such as for Lent!) and was basically a "functioning alcoholic."
I grew up with the shameful pain of alcoholism and as such I rarely drink. Although I loved her very much, I refuse to end up like my mother.

I do think sublingual (under the tongue) B12 is important as well as the rest.
