I'm also well aware that it has happened before when someone did say it on MB.

Point still stands.

Someone off here killed themselves?

Not ****ing sure why the whole escrow **** takes so damn long.

Cut back or stop completely?

Just hot sauce, or all sauces?

I agree with The Hawk.

If you have a drink problem then zero alcohol is the only option.

Imagine dealing with a cocaine addiction by thinking instead of doing grams and grams every day you'll just have two lines when you get in from work. Where would that end up?

My dad once told me that he'd cut back on the alcohol. He was drinking at the time to relieve otherworldly crazy stress from work, my mother, and my brother. I believed him.

A week later I was (literally) kicking him out of my front door because he called my mother a cunt. I kicked him right in the chest and he fell backwards on his back. He was in shock. His face went from anger to just sheer disgust, either in me or himself, I'm still not sure. He staggered back to his feet and then left in his truck. Up until that point my father was my superhero. He was a firefighter AND police officer...at the same time. He could say no wrong or do no wrong and was my role model. Calling my mother a cunt changes that though. Those days are over. I cried a lot that night. My image of my father was shattered.

All because he thought he could handle the booze and control it. That was last March. He's going to be a year sober this Sunday. I'm starting to see my superhero again.

You and my father are a lot alike Chula. I've told you that before. Quit the booze. Your family needs you to do it because I can guarantee after this last episode, they see you differently now. Quit the booze and change your life.

Good post Exo.

IMO you probably need to have that moment where you realise it simply cannot continue and it sounds like that happened for him. One year is a long time so well done to him.

Cold turkey can get pretty messy but if you can handle it then it's the best way to go about quitting anything.

Oh yeah it can of course kill you so obviously see a doctor and follow their instructions if you might be physically dependant on alcohol.

That’s great your dad sobered up.

I’m not trying to make small of him talking to your mom like that but if that was his rock bottom and he sobered up after just that... you’re so lucky man

I’m not going to start boohooing my home environment but...

**** it, it was bad, like pretty much all the time and no reform ever

I feel like I had it hard, but when I was a teacher I had lots of students whose homelife made my childhood seem like a picnic

Your dad nipped it in the bud. Everyone is human but to correct himself like that...

You should tell him how much you appreciate and respect that. That’s being a man, I’m not even joking, I’m jealous as ****.
