I’m an alcoholic (there, I’ve admitted it) and I’ve been like this for years. I really don’t care what other people say because I like to drink. Lately, I’ve had this realization that maybe I need some help in order to become sober. My little girl is growing up so fast and I just realized that I can’t let her have a drunkard for a father. Please help me.
Rose and his LA Guns bandmate Tracii Guns formed Guns N’ Roses in March 1985. The band was a merger of LA Guns and Hollywood Rose, and featured musicians who had played for one or both groups, including Ole Beich and Duff McKagan. The band debuted at the Troubadour in Hollywood and proceeded to play the LA circuit, eventually building a fan following and attracting the attention of several record companies.[18][19] The lineup eventually solidified with Rose on vocals, Slash on lead guitar, Izzy Stradlin on rhythm guitar, Duff McKagan on bass and Steven Adler on drums. Guns N’ Roses was signed to Geffen Records in 1986 and released a four-song EP, Live ?!*@ Like a Suicide, on their own label, UZI Suicide, in December of that year. The band’s major label debut album, entitled Appetite for Destruction, was released in the United States on July 21, 1987. The record had a slow start, selling only 500000 copies in the first year of its release.[20] However, fueled by relentless touring and the mainstream success of the single “Sweet Child o’ Mine”, Appetite for Destruction rose to the #1 position on the Billboard 200 chart in the United States in the fall of 1988. To date, Appetite for Destruction ranks as the fourth best-selling debut album in the United States, has been certified 15x platinum by the RIAA, and has sold over 27 million copies.[21][22] With the success of Appetite for Destruction and its follow-up EP, GN’R Lies, Rose found himself lauded as one of rock’s most …
Metallica – Fuel This is the new Metallica-sound, or not the new but this is some of their newest stuff. And that is not as popular and good as the classic Metallica stuff, just so you know: Metallica play Thrash-Metal too:) “Fuel” is the opening song from Metallica’s ReLoad album. It stems from the thrill of fast driving and street racing. The song could also be applied to the fact that people like to drive their lives (like their cars) too fast. It is one of James Hetfield’s favorite songs as he later said before a concert played at an Oakland Raiders game,”We have to play Fuel…’cause it gets me pumped up.” (taped on Some Kind of Monster) Another interpretation of this song, which reflects the external struggles of the band members themselves as well as the personal lyric style James Hetfield adopted beginning with The Black Album, suggests that the song is about addiction. Specifically the addiction may be Hetfield’s alcoholism, but it could be a reference to any sort of addiction. It is a reference to whatever it may be that fuels a person. Further, it may reflect Hetfield’s decision to substitute his love of cars and racing for his love of alcohol. This is evidenced throughout the entire song and survives interpretation; the song may get the band and the crowd “pumped up,” but it is by no means as simple a song as it appears. The song was written by Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, and Kirk Hammett, and was the third single from the album. It is now a permanent fixture at …

Faith and finding a place in the loving arms of God’s grace and living for him will help addicts in the recovery from their addictions. This video is a video of the hope, mercy, forgiveness, love, peace, joy and the deliverance that comes when we are in the Lord. Confess and praise Him as your God. The music You Are My God is by Tony Melendez, an armless Christian who uses his feet for hands and who professes God as his Rock in all things. Addiction reaches beyond alcohol and drugs. Many people suffer from all sorts of different addictions. Gambling, eating, shopping, sex, internet, work, video games, etc can all be just as addictive in many cases and just as destructive to a person. Those behaviors may affect the person differently, but they can be just as devastating as substance dependence. The 12 step program, which was originally devised for overcoming alcoholism, has now been transformed into well over 200 different addiction support groups. Always remember too much of a good thing can hurt you. (from Thagard)
Are there any online support groups for adults who were abused as kids? When I was 7, I was molested by my 14-year-old brother. Over the next 24 years, he was a meth addict and was diagonised bipolar schizoprenic, and terrorized me and my family. Now that he’s “clean” and lives with my parents, my parents bring him to my house every time they come over. He makes me very uncomfortable and it disgusts me to see him near my children. It really pisses me off that my parents think it’s ok to do this. It’s like they’ve forgotten what he did to me. Therapy has validated the fact that I have the right to be angry, but that’s it. I think it would help to coorespond with someone who has actually been through this. Thanks.

Not alcohol itself, but the effects of overdrinking for a prolonged period… IE: Bad neuromuscular function, mind fog, lethargy, etc.
