Just know that there are people that love you. I'm an alcoholic. I have been since I lost my best friend in the Marine Corps. I finally asked for help a few weeks ago, and the support has been overwhelming. I know there's a few of you fellow vets out there who are prideful like me, and think we can conquer everything ourselves, but just simply asking for help is all you need to do. I had heard horror stories about the VA, but, everyone I've talked to so far has been incredibly helpful, and I'll be checking into the hospital tomorrow before I kill myself by drowning in alcohol. The help is out there, guys, you just have to ask for it. I'm ready for the fight ahead, and you need to be too. We need all hands on deck, and if you're not well, you need to get well. All the best - Felonious

I don't have a choice, dude, if I don't stop drinking my liver and kidneys will fail by the time I'm 35. I'm at 16 tall boys a night and my BAC at the ER 3 weeks ago when I got there not even drunk was a .401. I want to have a family and put down this poison forever.
