"Well mate although I have a good career I also used to work as a barman and even at the same time with my career I loved that line of work, I want to get back in to it and knock my good career in the head as its lately crushed me. So I dont want to be scared of bars or pouring someone else a drink in a job manner or for this addiction to say i cant socialise in bars."


Garry, I read in a earlier post from Jordiegirl on this thread that you had lost your job ?
I hope that is not the case, as I was going to comment on your remark above about having a good career and I was going to say don't contemplate leaving it to do the bar work which you say you enjoyed. Unfortunately, the "enjoyment" won't pay the bills and it will put temptation in your life too much of the time at the moment. Best to stick to the "good job" at the moment even if it is making you feel crushed, in fact it may be a good idea to explain to them what is happening in your life at the moment as some employers are very sympathetic and helpful in these situations.

Anyway, keep at it and good luck.

go to gp and ask for referal to speak with alcohol liason team at your nhs hospital ask for a 2 week detox programme, it happened to me and i needed 4 hospital visits before i finaly stopped drinking, thats when they told me on the fourth admission that if i did not stop drinking i would be dead within 12 months.i lost my family but when i eventually stopped drinking they had me back. it was very hard for me daily i lost my job and would drink 3 bottles of wine a day and half abottle of spirits. it was killing me. i have the hospital to thank for saving me. act now, before too late .good luck.

Gary, i'll get straight to it,
2 weeks ago my life was rocked,no not rocked torn appart. this is the first time i've been on dk propper since,and only just seen your post.
my 4 and a half year old son was diagnosed with leakemia, at first me and the wife thought the worst(which parent wouldnt),but over the last 2 week we have been with him at RMCH, where he has started an intense corse of chemo and other drugs, today we got news that he is responding really well to the treatment and that he will be allowed home next week, but we will have to go back every wednesday for the next 3 year for chemo. so to my point,
Life is short we all do things we are not proud of,but most things can be fixed, and you can get through this because like me you have a love for your child a love that only a father can have and you want to do it for him. i hope you sort things out mate i cant start to think where your head is right now but you have the most beutiful gift any man can have and thats you little one

regards young

[jordigirl]

hope he's better soon

Best of luck to your son and having both of you with him can only help his recovery more.

Thanks young all the best to your son and thinking about your family at this time.

OOh I have my boy for 6 days the now......no CB but a man can dream eh?

I just saw this. Sorry for your problem mate.

One very close member of my family had the same issues. He was drinking and using the all kind of medicine with alcohol especially from the benziodizepam family (Clonazepam, KsaLoll, diazepam and all kind of anti depresant). Things started to be worse and worse.

Finally we have found one clinic with powerful methods in healing these problems. The clinic is from Russia and you have their franchise in Belgrade and in Switzerland I think. No EU countries.

Doctors said that the worse thing is drugs using than alcohol.

So my **** went to the clinic and whole treatman is very short, about two weeks. After that he came out as a totally different man. Sober for several months now.

It`s also a bit expensive cause we had to pay 2.500 euros for 15 days but it helped mate.

Think about it. It can change your life again.

You have my full support to beat that problem of yours cause I know how hard that can be. It ruined our family mate and three beautyfull children will have traumas for the rest of their life.

@ garry i have only read page 1 on this thread (sorry not been on for ages). good on you admitting your problem and trying to sort yourself out. i have said things several times on this forum about not drinking and every time i have been slated for it!!! in my opinion if you cannot live your life without drinking nearly every day then you have a problem - end of.

i mentioned last yr when my niece was pregnant, and her other half saying he would give up the drink while she was pregnant hardly lasted a week i got pelters and comments saying why should he etc.

i hardly touch drink now - my choice. mostly money probs as i have a thousand other things to spend it on.

drink is not the b all and end all of life

i so hope you get yourself sorted. yes you know you have apologies to make and i hope to god people forgive you.

getting drunk and not remembering what you did the day before might be fun for others but its no decent way to live your life.

all the best to you and keep me posted.

firstly UNTIL you can see your doctor DONT just stop drinking it can cause alcoholic fits and worse

you need to get something for the withdrawl symptoms from the docs

I'm no expert and there's some brilliant advice on here.

Since this thread is now 11 pages long I thought it was worth quoting the above for anyone who's might have missed it.

@ Garry do this for yourself, you cant change your past but you can change your future, apologise to those you've hurt once your well on your road to recovery. I wish you all the very best. xx
