I wasn't able to stop 31 yrs ago ... Just couldn't no matter what I did or how much pain I was in or what it had cost me and was still costing me ...

I checked myself into a 28-day program at a California program for, well, lost causes mostly. I was that, certainly.

I ended up staying 45 days. They were afraid to leet me leave sooner.

But it worked. Essentially, it worked. I've had some slips, and one real bad smashing fall. But I've always come back to sobriety immediately.

You can do this, rain130w. You can. Take the first step and never give up. Use the program, add a site like PC as part of a support system, and just keep building a network so there is ALWAYS somewhere/someone for you to turn to for help. Never believe you have to do this alone.
