Question

Dear Cary,

I¡¯m writing because I¡¯ve understood you¡¯ve struggled with alcoholism(Ðï¾Æ)£®I¡¯ve been fighting mine ever since I went through 9-11£®After that£¬I¡¯ve been more or less useless professionally I¡¯m a lawyerand have had to resign from my job because I was discovered passed-out drunk in front of my computer. I¡¯ve taken some medicine and it has helped somewhat. I can manage about a month without drinking£¬but after that I end up having a crazy stage where nothing matters except drinking£®After a week or so of heavy drinking£¬I start having nightmares of people jumping. After that£¬it¡¯s a week of not being able to get out of bed.

I was supposed to travel to a conference but didn¡¯t make it because I got so drunk at the airport that I fell down on my face and spent the rest of the day in the emergency room. I have been hiding from my family since then£®Fortunately they won¡¯t be expecting me to come back for a week or so. Otherwise, they would notice the bump on my forehead and two black eyes£®

I don¡¯t really know what I¡¯m asking you£®Cary, I need a way out that doesn¡¯t involve causing pain to my family£®I¡¯m taking medicine£¬but I still have these attacks every few months£®If there¡¯s alcohol in the house£¬I can¡¯t stay away from it£®It seems that this will never end. I¡¯m afraid of what  will happen if something bad happens£¬like a family member dying,or getting fired again£®

Thanks for reading£®

Yours

T
