It takes a tough man to stand up and admit this. An even tougher man to do something about it.

prayers for Spags.

I quit my self for 10 years. Then 5 years later decided I could be like most other people and only have a couple of beers and call it good.
took me about 2 months before i was worse than before. Cost me another marriage with my second ex wife and new batch of kids then in high school.
I went back to AA again for a while and still doing the one day at a time thing but in about 30 days, I'll have 15 years in on this go-round.
I'm pretty sure I wouldn't make it back for a third try.

If you want some info that might help you, feel free to shoot me a PM - it's about the tired of fighting it part. Everyone is different though but we all of us have some things in common about this stuff

Agree....hell that's twice this year!

His wife must be a saint....and doesn't have good eyesight to boot, because that boy out kicked his coverage big time!

Good luck B! Be the best thing you ever do for your beautiful family. My dad never beat it so I sure understand the struggle...

Had a buddy at 36 die of liver failure last week due excessive alcohol consumption. I myself am tuning it back as well after I heard that. Good luck Brian.

I'm guessing it was years of partying REAL hard. To die of that at 36 would take a LOT of alcohol. or maybe he had underlying health issues that sped up the liver damage.
single incident they usually call it alcohol poisoning like what happens when a bunch of college fratboy douches make a prospect chug 3 bottles of vodka or something similar.

Same here, my high school buddy was 37 when he died, his liver was toast. He didn't party but he drank a fifth of rotgut vodka every day. My friends told me he would start in the morning drinking and by night he was crashed. Sad, sad tale of woe. Truth. I still think about him once in a while, wondering if I could have said something to get him straightened up. Luckily I was able to quit when I saw the writing on the wall. 32 years now for me.
