A difficult confession

[Rockbro]

Country music is my favorite... why does every country song HAVE TO have alcohol involved?

Argh

Also,, I did something incredible today. You won't think anything of this, but it means something to me.

My wife is 2000 miles away at a funeral. She called me and said she felt guilty for having a good time with her cousins (funeral for uncle). I was supportive and told her it's OK. A funeral is not just a memorial, but a celebration of life and a time to reconnect.

The "old" me would have been angry and jealous.

One of my favorite pictures... while I was fixing the sink, my wife was looking to embarrass me.

If this is real, you need to very very careful trying to detox yourself off alcohol. I've had to admit more people in the hospital than I can count because they thought they could detox themselves and dry out. If you truly had a drinking problem where you drank to excess every day, you should really consider going to medical professional especially if you are home alone. Besides my professional job, I found my FIL on the floor 4 years ago after he tried to detox himself AGAIN. He was heavy cheap beer drinker. He needed to sober up to go see his 84 year old mother and when he tried he ended up having seizures and ultimately dying from brain damage. Trying to sober yourself up and dry out can kill you. Please think about reaching out for medical help and support through this process.

Thank you for the advice. This is real. Unfortunately, our health insurance is not that great. We have to kind of do things on our own.

Again, thanks for the advice and I'm sorry for your loss. Sometimes people forget or don't believe that addiction is real.

If anyone is interested, I'd like to set up a Microsoft "Teams" meeting to talk about all things" Disney and addiction." I have no idea how to do this, but I can try.

If this violates DIS policies, please take the request down. I have nothing to gain from this.

I'm very familiar with helping people who do not have great or any health insurance but there are programs and ways to get help. You dying from detox is going to cost lot more than medical bills. Please think about reaching out to local AA at least and getting help and support. They will have the resources to help direct you to sliding scale clinics or at least know you are going through this and can help support you.

The old man and his furnace? Think winter. This movie house is actually real and still stands in Ohio.

This one has to be "A Christmas Story"

Doesn't have to be, but it is.

There are 3 "Rogers" and an "Over." This should say a lot before we land.

If this is correct, it would be the second time in two days it has come up in my life after not being thought of in a decade. Weird
