Dear Members,
I am 38years old and I am a recovering alcoholic who has been sober now for two months,not even a glass of wine with my dinner,I was a lone drinker,very secretive but that all changed when at the age of 31 I suffered a stroke caused by my drinking,binge drinking or should I say 24/7 drinking.A clot formed in my brain causing a blockage which one night exploded causing a bleed on the right hand side of my brain and leaving me disabled on my left hand side and epileptic due to scarring on my brain,well that's enough of the gory stuff if any members would like to hear more you can do so by hearing my podcast by visiting www.alcoholpolicy.net/2007/05/index.html and scrolling down to 'A Survivors Story' If any members do have a listen to my podcast it would be great to hear any comments you may have. All The Best Delbert | ||

Welcome, Delbert.
Are you getting sober, or just drying out? Have a guy in a group that I attend who had a crippling stroke as a direct result of this disease. He just got a 1-year medallion last Friday. And he's near full recovery. -------------------- Faith is not belief without proof, but trust without reservation. | ||

HELLO Delbert,
How are you keeping up with all the life changes? I applaud your honesty and please keep posting because this little place has become one of my favourite groups to meet with like minded people. I will be looking out for you too. I have looked you up delbert a couple of weeks along the track and wonder how you are going? As pirate said, this group is like a little family and I am very new-as of only one month hear and feel like I am getting to know the individuals who have the experience I need to walk forward and stay sober one day at a time . Look forward to your posts. Kaz from Oz This post has been edited by kazzyrae on January 30, 2010, 10:47 AM | ||

My name is Kieran Hammond and I am 19 years old. I have had an alcohol problem since i was 14. since i became of age to go to bars i have been spending all of my money on the bars, liquor stores, etc.. Alcohol has lead me to do other drugs and I hope this site will help me make a full recovery from my alcohol addiction.

Welcome Delbert and Kieran
Glad you are here Feel free to share your story Mine is under cocaine- available to help c/s 12 yrs thru 12 step. Good Luck ! It works if you work it ! But you need real life 12 step meetings, of which this site is not a substitute for. So reach out, ventilate, get a sponsor who has 20-30 years c/s and whose lifestyle and sobriety you admire and find out how they did it and Listen real well. Best Wishes !

Welcome Delbert,
Glad you found this website. Keep coming back, keep sharing. I found that I no longer had to be a loner or isolated by my disease, that with the help of others, not only do I stay sober another day, but I am learning how to live life with joy & peace in my heart. I look forward to hearing more of your story. Take care, Stacey -------------------- Happiness is not in the bottom of a pill bottle. It's inside you. | ||
