Ive had alot of support from this website, thanks to all who have responded and helped. My last drink was July 11th of this year. I have used the "cold turkey" approach. It started out very roughly, but as the days click off I feel better and more relaxed every day. The main problem that I am having is guilt. I've ruined alot of relationships since I started drinking, and I'm not quite sure how to start the rebulding process. I always assumed that since I was an alcoholic people just blamed my disease and not me personally. Well, since im recovering, I no longer have an excuse for my actions. When I drank, I just avoided family ad friends. How do I go back and apologize for the years of neglect and abuse that I put my family and friends through? Thanks again guys and gals, youve been a great help so far. - Wayne
