Hello…I’m Kenney & I’m an addict alcoholic…My sobriety date is 5/22/2006..
I started drinking at the age of 14…A friend of mine’s mother owned a package store & they had a large warehouse in the back of it…My friend & I would ride our bikes down there after school & ride around in the warehouse…Orange Vodka…umm umm a taste so great you got to do it twice…In & out if you know what it mean…His mother had to know what we were doing but she never seemed to care…At 16 I discovered pot, keg beer & girls…Pretty much in that order…Then crime & soon after prison…When I got out I got married to a girl I had met while waiting to be sentenced…The following year we had a son…The next 25 years are the basic work, fight & drink stories that so many of us have had…It was in 2005 at a very low point in my life that my wife committed suicide & then 10 days later I tried…I took 2 coffee cupfuls of my psyc meds(I’m Bi-Polar) & then I thought I would make good and sure I didn’t survive so I drank a 1/4 of whiskey…They found me 2 days later on my back in a pile of vomit & pills but I was still alive…It seems because of the whiskey I threw up enough of the pills to prevent me from dying…I might interject here that not a lot of people can say that a quart of whiskey saved their life…I was in a comma for 10 days…My father who lived in Kentucky(I’m in Austin Tx) came down & took me home with him to dry out & try to put my life back in some order…The little town he lived in was in a dry county…I stayed there 2 months before returning home…My psychiatrist suggested very strongly that I start attending AA & that is how I get to the starting place of this blog…
If after reading some of this you would like to post some of you experience, strength & hope leave your Email in the comments & I will get in touch with you…Thank you very much…Kenney
