>Tracy, I am very glad you made that call. The police came and took me to the ER. I was there far about 24 hours and then to a psych ward for detox and observation for 72 hours. I got home late yesterday afternoon.

>I feel sorry for your daughters - I doubt they have an ounce of respect for their drunken father. I could sense the emotion in your daughter's voice - I only talked to her for a minute, and while she didn't give any details, we both knew what the subject was. I have zero sympathy for you - just for your kids. What chance do you think your daughters have, with a father who regularly gets hammered and then does things offline that we both know about????

>Grow up.

I thought you weren't going to talk to me any more? IMO that was a good plan. I am well enough aware of my situation to not need your negativity. It is not helpful in any way. I have never asked for your sympathy and don't even want it given your frequent mean-spiritedness. Just drop the negativity please. Sometimes I think you actually want me to flame out so you can tell everyone "I told you so." There are about a dozen things motivating me right now and one of them is thinking how sweet it will be to prove you wrong.

If you understood more about alcoholism than you do you would know sobriety usually doesn't happen right away even given the desire.

Off to an AA meeting.....
