re: A guy told me that before he stopped drinking, he was killing a fifth of Jack a day.

I have insomnia real bad. My doctor took me off of the sleeping medication that he prescribed. I had a real tough time falling asleep. I started drinking either rum and coke or whiskey and coke. I never was a fall down drunk or someone who had trouble walking after I drank. My doctor asked me if I took an abundance of Tylenol. I told him no and he asked me if I drank a lot. I told him not a lot but I would drink four or five drinks to help me sleep. I stopped drinking a year before I went to the doctor and I haven't had a drink for at least five years. He told me never to drink again. He told me that I have cirrhosis of the liver. I just took what he told me and made a promise to myself that I would beat this. There is nobody to blame but myself. I abused alcohol and I'm paying for it. The doc never gave me medication. I feel healthy and I never experienced any pain. I never turned yellow and my eyes never turned yellow. If I die then I die. I was in a coma for four months because of a severe traffic accident. The doctors were surprised that I lived. It's all in God's hands and I will accept whatever happens to me.
