Today is three weeks since I fell/blacked out/ woke up in an emergency room, stitches and then they put me out outside to get a cab at 2:30 in the morning, alone, after asking for help and a treatment center. Sent home. I'm not drinking and have been recuperating from long term COVID. I have some medical & mental health nurses and found a D/A counselor. Today I think I can drink, just a little, know quite well I can't. IDKY I'm writing this post. I just don't feel the energy to get up. 72 and feeling like the local loser. Anyway, one second at a time. Thanks

My last drink at the end of September in 2017 I left UPMC medical center with a feeding tube because my pancreas was shutting down thankfully from not drinking my pancreas has returned to normal and I go to a meeting about 4 to 6 days a week and I do whatever I need to do because the only thing I am deathly afraid of is choosing to pick up a drink again I work in conjunction with a sponsor and I work the steps I take my recovery very seriously and I’m not saying this to scare people but I want people to realize this is real I buried two brothers as a result of this disease it is real the last one I buried was on July 6 this past year and I really miss him. We don’t realize how what we do affects those around us.
