Hello Mia!

    I was a depressed alcoholic that didn't really care about life also.  For every one person that doesn't care about us, there is someone else that does.  There are many people that are willing to help you if you let them.  You need to realize that you life counts, and love yourself for who you are.  Even if it is a stranger that helps you, reach out for the help!!  Our lives are really what we make them out to be.  If we focus on the positive things, our lives tend to be more positive.  There is always someone here if you need to talk!  Try to change your life, you might be surprised by the outcome.

Keep coming back!

Ann

Hi Scooter,

I did a 30 day inpatient rehab program in 1993. When I finished it, and returned home, the urge to drink was stronger than ever. My addiction screamed in my ear constantly, and I realized it was the addiction that needed to go. It literally felt like a monkey on my back, as you well know. I paced the house every day for the next week or so, and prayed hard every night, repeatedly surrendering my will to God, and asking Him to please remove my addiction.

About 10 days (or nights, actually) into it, my prayer was answered. I felt an amazing energy run through me for around 20 minutes, and then I fell into a deep sleep. The next morning the cravings were gone. My addiction disappeared that night, and has never returned again, even after 17 years. I know different methods work for different people, but wanted to share what worked for me. I wish you all the best, Scooter.
