How To Quit Drinking Alcohol
Ed Philips
I shall present myself as Jonathan Woodgate, Alcoholic for 22 years and presently carry out a pretty active life. I am not really that keen on talking about my past but I am doing so in helping others that may like to learn from my example. You will sooner or later get fed up with being called a waste of space or a loser.
I have just reached the grand age of 65 and have now been dry for the past 2 years. I really didn't have much of a choice as my doctor had been quite blunt with me one day and said "quit now or die". I don't suppose it took me very long to come to my senses and I made a decision.
I had been married before which produced 2 lovely children, although I hadn't seen them for around 16 years due to my own stupidity and selfishness. I realise that now of course and I still feel guilty, but the resulting truth is that if you want alcohol to be part of your life, there's no room for those who really love you as well.
If I remember rightly I was in my mid forties and drinking way too much on a daily basis when my wife warned me what the consequences would be if I didn't sort my problem out. I really didn't think she leave me with the children and I just brushed her warnings away by saying I had everything under control. I should have listened to her as that nightmare day dawned upon me.
It's difficult to put how I felt into words but I was devastated and my condition lead me to drinking more and more just so that I could forget the position I was in. I began to drink so much alcohol that even forgot about my wife and 2 lovely kids.
I had reached the age of 62 when something happened in my life which would change things around. I got a knock at the door one morning and opened the door to youngish man wreaking of alcohol. He then asked for me by my name saying that he was my son. Well I couldn't believe it but after having a short chat I realised it really was him, the son I hadn't seen for nearly 16 years.
He was there to inform me of his forth coming wedding and put two very important questions to me. He was actually inviting me to his wedding but only under the condition that I would come alcohol free. I told him it would be an honour and that I would seek help immediately. The following day I went to the Doctors for help and that was when he told me that if I didn't give up Alcohol I would die, and I thanked him for his honesty.
I tried every single thing out there you could think of and to honest nothing seemed to be working, and then my son came across this website stopdrinkingadvice.org. I didn't have much money so my son bought this for me. I had just over 2 years to sort my self out and with the help of my son and this incredible audio and book I did it. It took me 6 months, and I have never touched a drop since.
I admit it was a tough time and I really had to be firm with myself but at the end of the day nothing was going to stop me watching my son getting married and now I am looking forward to walking down the aisle with my daughter.
So why have a I wrote this; One you are never too old in life to quit drinking or quit anything, and if a 63 year old can do it so can you. There are so many things in life which are far more important than having a drink as that's the easy option, so for once why don't you try the hard option...the reward's are far greater.
So just to sum up really I would like to pass on my advice to anyone who feels they have something in common with my life. I managed and so can you but I must emphasise that it was stopdrinkingadvice.org that made all the difference in my battle with alcohol. I really wish you luck on your journey and I hope you find your pot of gold at the end of the rainbow like I did.
