For far too long I've spent well over fifty percent of my like in a drunken stupor, literally crazy most of the time. I get so crazy that I can not be around anyone so I've focussed on drinking alone for the last 10 or more years. I know the truth in what you say about exercise. A few years ago my drinking got me into a near fatal vehicle accident. After my one months supply of Oxycontin ran out I didn't sleep for four days until I bought a 26er of Vodca. Eventually I started physiotherapy three times a week and it worked like magic more than a few times, eventhough I still continued drinking. After nines months or so my arm had a good 80% range of motion. What do I do?, I go out and get my third impaired and eventually go to jail for my first time for 60 days. About five years ago I turned forty years old and have really struggled with trying to stop drinking for tens weeks at a time here and there. One could say I suffer from acute lonliness with no parter or children in my life. I will admit that I've turned back to the bottle a few times after the 10 week mark, infact I've often refered to beer as my, "little brown buddies". I have some resources around, Withdrawl Management which I contacted today, a private counsellor I've utilized in the past and the local treatment centre.
