chris hess Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 well,after lots of thought and a visit to my dr. i'm going in the hospital for 3 days to kick my beer habit and smoking..i use to be a casual drinker,but with the wife problems and not working much at all it grew and grew to the point i could polish off 12 beers a night easily..the other day i said to myself enough is enough..that was one of my wifes worries..so,im doing this for myself and my wife..if this doesnt help the marriage,at least it should help me..my girls are shocked cause i'm not a mean drinker,dont drive drunk..always drink at home and dont go anywhere,and i just get mellowed out when i drink..even more than usual..so,im goin' for it..thats all..lol,chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darlene Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Good for you, Chris! It's really tough to take the step you're taking but you have the attitude that will succeed! You'll make it because you want to!God bless you in your efforts and we're here to give you all the support you need. We love you and care about you. This will surely show your wife that there's so much to love about you! She knew it when she married you, and we know it too.You're in my prayers. You'll feel so much better without the cigarettes and beer and will be able to say you accomplished something that so many people are never able to do.Good things attract other good things. I would bet that after you're out of rehab, you'll also find a job. We're praying for you! Go for it!

Guest Fresh Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Excellent decision, Chris.There is nothing but good that can result from this. Just think of how much cash you'll save from not buying beer and cigarettes. You can take the wife and girls out to a nice restaurant.Good Luck.We are all in your corner. Rob.
