I'm an alcoholic (the result of rooting for the Bungles all of these years). I've felt this way for quite some time, and it was time to do something about it (especially since the Mrs. put her foot down the day after Xmas. :( Just completed detox today. Wish me luck. Big hill to clumb. :eek:

Oh, and on a secondary note, our healthcare system can bit my arse. Can't count the # of times I repeated the same questions for different forms. :saywhat: :shakehead: :irked:

Good luck, dando. PM anytime. I've seen it from a lot of angles. Just remember, hills are climbed like everything else is accomplished in life: One step at a time. You've made the leap. Just keep on, keepin' on and you'll be okay.

I wish you the best. You can be proud that you've made the choice to do something about it. I'm pretty sure that step one is admitting that you're powerless over your favorite sports franchise. :)

Someone very close to me is an alcoholic, her advice is:

1) don't drink
2) go to meetings

From both of us, good luck.

You made the right choice. Just keep doing the next right thing -- again and again. It will keep getting better and better.

I'm an alcoholic (the result of rooting for the Bungles all of these years). Just be thankful that you are not a Browns fan, or we would be talking about meth and heroin. :D And, good luck, you can do it.

Having dealt with addiction myself in various forms over the years I commend you on your first step, and remember that each day is going to get better, some of them might be harder than others, but they will get better.
