I'm 41 now, but it wasn't until 2012 after countless detoxes and relapses that I was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome.
In 2006 I lost my job, my father, and my friends (they all moved west). With the help of a caring neighbour and the last bit of sanity I had in me I successfully sued my former employer and received a truckload of money as compensation for royally screwing me up in the head. So there I was, alone in my appartment, depressed and with all the time and money in the world. I think you can guess where this is heading... Anyway, I moved to the town where I have been treated for alcoholism, substance abuse, schizo-affective disorder and had extensive therapy as well as medication for dealing with autism. Right, that'll do for an introduction - adding that I have been clean and sober for 1.5 years now.
I know that game, brother. I've toiled with alcoholism for the majority of my adult life, and it's no joke at all...
Congratulations for going sober for 1.5 years, but here's my advice;
Alcoholism is never "cured", it's just waiting in the shadows for you to let your guard down. NEVER. LET. YOUR. GUARD. DOWN.I'm proud of you, dude. You've managed to do what I couldn't. Please stick with it.
