Three years ago I woke up in jail with a BAC of .37 and I had no idea where I was. Not even sure what town (or State) I was in. My wheelchair was gone, my car was gone along with all my belongings and I could not walk. I spent 4 days on a cot before I was given a walker to get to the showers. I had lost my house, my career, my marriage, my kids, my savings....

When I was released I had a Hawaiian shirt, pair of shorts and my wallet. That was it.

Three years later I have every thing I need. A job, a roof over my head, a van, my kids and a wonderful young lady.

I can walk again.

I lead recovery meetings.

I counsel other Alcoholics with PN symptoms on how to alleviate the pain and numbness.

For me, abstinence was the answer, and now its easy.

Keep up the good work folks, its is different for all of us, just find what works and keep at it!!!
