Its very tough to do especially hearing all of the horror stories but you will feel so much better once its over. Im going thru it now trust me I hurt but believe it or not just talking to people that actually feel your pain helps more than anything.

I really respect what you're doing and I wish I had your strength............................I'm still caught up in all the pill bull****, keep promising myself that I'm going to quit but never quite have the guts to actually go through with it.....................................so if it means anything I'm proud of you

TRUST ME I FEEL THE PAINS!! oh man..... push threw it an @ CATUF, bro I did surrender, that's why I'm here, But I will and "can-do" staying sober, AA/NA isn't for me... Maybe one day ill attend one and help people out as a side gig, even if I rejoin the Army, Be as big of an Impact as possiable... like Nikki SIXX, and help everyone get off thier drug, and thank everyone and reccomend this site! this site and the people on it are the only reason I haven't found a way to get my drug..

you should check out detox and rehab through the VA.  They have a good program and it's free.

The can-do attitude from the military is a great tool for most things in life, but not for addiction/alcoholism.  In fact, it's exactly the wrong tool for this fight.  In this battle the one and only "weapon" that works is surrender . . . absolute and unconditional surrender.

REMEMBER! we're going threw this together bro.... WE can do it!   WE WILL do it....
lets get over this, AND DON'T get the pills. I was gonna get mine to sell.... But then I'd be causing this to someone else and I don't wish this on ANYONE, not even my worst enemy.... Plus I'd relapse.... Stay with me brotha add me to FB above and watch the vid.
