Breaking the habit

I'm 28 years old and I've been drinking everyday for the past ten years. Some days mor than others, but I start off my day with a beer and end it with anything hard. I dont do it to get drunk but it just feels like my medicine I feel sick when I dont drink. It gets in the way of many things in my life and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to end this habit.

Usually just praying makes me feel a ton better. But he provides me with little miracles everyday. Days where I think nothing in this world can get worse he shows me the cup half full by showing me some good news which makes me forget about my bad. He helps me in ways I never think possible but especially when I ask for it and trully have faith in it.

I cant stop crying when I hear bad news. I keep praying night and day and eating is impossible.

I would make him come home. when it comes to things like this you have the right to be mean and tough. Your saving your sons life and preventing him from ruining it if he survives it. Do what ever it takes to make him come home and make sure he attends NA meetings, or rehab. Show your daughter all the bad things your son is going through because of drugs and partying and ask her if she wants to be like that.

Omg this is so sad. He should've gotten help, he should've known that what he was doing is so incredibly wrong. Like its one thing to steal but its another to steal from family. :-/

I heard that China has more smokers than any country in the world? Is that true? Or is India more?

Try getting family and friends to help pay for rehab. If everyone pays $100 each or more if they could, it could get her into rehab, save her life and get her back on track to working more and earning more money. She could someday be happily sober again. Talk to her friends and see. I really think rehab is best option in her case.
