Detox.. 24

I'm in the hospital for 7 days now after 6 and 1/2 years of zero alcohol. I thought I could handle a nice cold beer for Cinco de Mayo.
Within 4 months I was drinking 20-30 beers a day and couldn't stop.
I now have 6 days sober and I got some more news 5 hours ago. I now need a defibrillator installed tomorrow because my heart is only working at about 30%.
If you believe in a God I'd appreciate you keep me in your prayers and if you don't, wish me good luck and a quick recovery. I love you guys and gals and anyone in between .

Vinsue, I’m proud of ya. Better late than never! I know how tough it is and so do you. But you’re gonna be just fine no matter what happens. Let the drink drink itself from now on. It’s had more than enough of you already. All is fundamentally good, well, & forgiven - just let yourself get well this time and keep on keeping on, but this time all the wiser for having seen once more - the drank ain’t considered noble for good reason - and usually just leads to more suffering - wether we realize it or not. It’s just a clever trick we play on ourselves to help us kid our own hearts into believing we aren’t fully and madly in love with reality...and all of it’s grooves & curves. My friend, it’s All just part of the love affair.

Lucille, let her help you through this time of healing.

The Creator is still flowing through your veins. If you arn't dead now, you're good. Those doctors are good at what they do. The technology is pretty incredible too. Don't think that gives you a pass to drink. You're lucky man.
--------------------
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Thanks for sharing...
I’m the same way with alcohol. It’s been about three years since I’ve had any and sometimes I think about seeing how my relationship has changed with it...however I think about the past and the inevitable of me taking it too far and resist.
Stay strong brother

Sorry to hear about the relapse dude. I wish you a speedy recovery. There's no doubt a lot to take away from the experience as you move past this little set back.

Damn vinsue that was a tough read. Take care of yourself man. Life's too important to let momentary hedonisms bring us down.. I think we were all much happier to hear you quit, and would all be happier if it stayed that way. Best of luck, hope you feel better soon.
