On September 7th I went into the hospital for a week thanks to Congestive Heart Failure which was caused by my continued drinking. That was the last straw that made me stop drinking. I had become pretty stable on my meds prior to this so I already had some emotion back. The best thing available to those using alcohol as an escape is Naltrexone. IT relieves the cravings and when you do drink while on it you won't feel like you are drunk. It kills the high (or low) that you get from alcohol. Talk to your doctor about it - it's worth a try.
