Hey SecondChances I'm so glad to read you are ok. After a lapse people beat themselves up so much it can become overwhelming & lead to more trauma. You have much behind you and so much more to look forward to. Just a suggestion, maybe send the Copper a small card of thanks. You might be able to find at least what house he came from on your fine. I don't mean to trivialise it, but a lapse is just that. You can move on from it. Hang in there.

I must never forget how the addiction comes back with such a vengeance. I had no control and even when cop pulled me over I was chill and thought "whatever". In my sober state I fear my shadow but with the cop I was "whatever" and chill. That is why alcohol will bring me back til I can get some control w meds. I hate meds but it is time. Alcohol either makes me bitchy and I can fight the world or I just don't care bout anything. I need balance. |

As to my "folly", pins n needles r the same as to the fire in my legs but def a change in the leg weakness. I had not realized the small gains but I do now.My legs were far better in abstinence.
Also an oddity....I am borderline diabetic and so I try to control my diet. I needed alcohol or sugar so I decided to go with less of two evils. I bought jelly donuts, chocolate, licorice and cookies. It stopped the alcohol cravings but I don't dare check my glucose levels. At least I am sober thru day 1. What a strange and baffling disease. Why would one choose this existence? |

Thanks for updating us to your condition. Was concerned when hadn't heard from you. Whether drugs or alcohol; it is so inviting at the beginning; and then once it has you in its "grip"..... it has you by the throat; it is no longer having chosen such an existence.
Whatever means you need; it's never too late to start counting. Glad you are back. You have really given some thought to the officer that let you go. Hopefully, you were a "special" case and he does not give passes regularly. Good thinking on your part. Keep counting and please never give up....

Alcohol is a cheat and a liar. You think you have beat it, but you never can. It is a legal evil. But SecondChances, don't beat yourself up over a lapse, you've done it before so you can get back on that wagon. Good luck buddy. |

Is it possible to get Metanx via the internet? I have spoken to my G.P. and he say's it is not licensed in the UK. But at the same time, i have heard lots of horror stories regarding drugs/meds purchased over the web. Stay strong mate. |
