Excellent post, Wifey.

This is good advice, Kevin. Do it. You can!

Well Geez,

I guess it's time to call in the big guns here. Kevin, I don't know you, but believe me when I tell you I know your spirt/your heart/your soul/your kind. You think no one can help you.

And you're right. No one can help you except you and God. And, no one but you can do this because -- as the first step in AA says, "...admitted that we were powerless over alchohol, that our lives had become unmanageable."

Kevin, if you are truly and alchoholic, and you are truly READY to recover, you will take that first step and finish them all....

Believe me when I tell you that there are many people on this board who either belong to AA or should. If you want to
help yourself, you'll find that meeting and live those steps...forever!

Good luck, Keven.

I did talk to KJ on the phone. She really helped lift me back up.

Thanks KJ,

forward walking Kevin (or take a respite on a rock or something to catch your breath)...nothing but forward walking. What is behind you needs to be out of your vision ...from the memory of it there is a positive to be gained and that is it.

May you be immersed fully and completely in the Holy Spirit.

I did tell Kevin that he is free to lean when he needs to. Lord knows there were so many that let me lean in my weak momemts. This is the first day of a fresh start -- for all of us & especially for Kevin.

I went to my AA meeting. The people were nice and friendly. They said the wanted to see me succeed. They told me they have meetings every day and that I can bring my kids and let them play in another room while they have the meeting. They told me the program does work as long as I work it. They were on step 6 in the 12 step book and they had me read some for everyone. We got into step 7 tonight. And they did the serenity prayer and I read the promises right before the prayer at the end.

I have a friend coming over to watch the movie "28 days ago".

I also went to dinner with this friend before the AA meeting.

Ok, one step at a time and keep moving forward. You can do this just keep it up and keep working!! Praise the Lord, tomorrow is a new and fresh day

We watched the movie "28 days ago". It was good. It was about a lady who goes into rehab thinking she doesn't have a problem and figures out she did and works through it and comes out better after it.

There were a lot of good points in the movie. I highly recommend it for anyone that has not seen it yet.

Kevin,

Looking over the last couple of dozen posts, I can see you picking yourself up again. Good for you.

Consider this your one and only dry run (no pun intended).
Your one and only size 13 hobnailed boot up the jaxie.

Not an end - a fresh beginning.

Kev, there are a few positives still in what your W said to you. One being "it'll be a long time". Not "never" - "a long time".

Give her the gift of that time for her to heal Kevin.

Pick yourself up - dust yourself down. You know what you did. You know what you need to do. Start again. Read the "manual". Act on it.

Keep the Faith my friend.
