You Can Stop Drinking Alcohol
I would like to present myself as Michael Roberts and Alcoholic for the previous 22 years of my life. I am in no way proud of this statement and realise now that I have wasted away 22 years of my life to alcohol and understand why people used to call me a loser.
I have just recently reached retirement age and have now enjoyed 2 whole years alcohol free. The day I came to my senses was at the Doctors when he came clear with me and told me that it was give up time or time to die. Fortunately it didn’t take me ant tome tome at all to come to the right decision.
I was fortunate enough to have been married before and I have 2 wonderful children, but all that went pear shaped and went for 16 years without seeing my kids. I really feel awful when I think what I missed and the problem is then when alcohol forms part of your life everything else falls by the wayside.
It was when I was about 46 when I was drinking heavily on a daily basis, that my x wife told me to sort out my problem or she was out with the kids. I thought I had my problem under control and told her so but through my own pig headedness the worst day of my life fell upon me.
It’s difficult to put how I felt into words but I was devastated and my condition lead me to drinking more and more just so that I could forget the position I was in. I began to drink so much alcohol that even forgot about my wife and 2 lovely kids.
I was the grand old age of 62, when I got a knock on my front door one morning, and there was the young tall lad stood there, smelling of vodka from the night before I opened the door, and asked “can I help you son?”, and to his reply he asked for me by my name and if so he was my son. Well at first I thought this was some kind of joke, and after a long chat and looking at some pictures he’d brought round I’d released this was my son who I hadn’t seen for 16 years.
His real mission was two fold and I was so pleased when he invited me to his wedding and even more cooperative when he told me that I could only come without being under the influence of alcohol. I wasted no time and the next morning went straight to my local Doctor and explained him my situation. This was the day he was very honest with me and told me straight, that if I didn’t quit drinking that I would most certainly die.
I was driving myself insane trying all sorts of methods and once again it was my son who came to the rescue. He had come across a website called stopdrinkingadvice.org and decided to get me what they had to offer. I had just over 2 years to achieve my objective and this great audio and book helped me to quit in just 6 months, and I have never been back on it since.
Yes it was a very long and very hard journey for me, and it was worth every single minute. Nothing in the world can take that day away from me watching my son walking down the aile to get married and I just hope I’m still here to watch my daughter get married too.
So why have a I wrote this; One you are never too old in life to quit drinking or quit anything, and if a 63 year old can do it so can you. There are so many things in life which are far more important than having a drink as that’s the easy option, so for once why don’t you try the hard option…the reward’s are far greater.
Just to conclude I can only say that if you identify yourself with me then you do have a chance to give up. I can only recommend stopdrinkingadvice.org and who knows, it might work for you too. I wish you the best of luck for the future and may you be rewarded too.
