Thanks, Clinte89, for telling us how you got here. I'm a bipolar alcoholic, so the general tale has a familiar whiff ... guess they all sorta do, eh? Are you in a program of any kind or are you just strong-arming it pretty much?

It sounds as if it's still pretty rough for you. I hope you've manage to get your life together and that's life's not altogether without it's compensations. You're a determined fellow, and I'm glad you're here to help the newbies understand how easy it is to get lost in alcohol and what role rehab can play in getting sober.

Thanks again, Clinte89, & please post in the Addictions Forum too.
