To our dear PT friends who are struggling,
YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS ANYMORE, AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS ALONE.

Here is the home website of AA:

http://www.alcoholics-anonymous.org

please check it out, you'll find some information that can help you figure out how to get in touch with your local AA. Check your local newspaper, phone book for AA. If there's a hotline number, call it. you don't have to identify yourself, just explain what you did here.

Please don't feel like you are intruding, one of the most important things we alcoholics do to stay sober is to help the next alcoholic. Really, you are helping US by asking for help.

I'm so glad this thread got started, so many people struggle with this.
