• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

:confused: I am 53 years old, broke,married and living with my parents.Twelve years ago I became an alcholic and lost everything I had, and got in trouble with the law with two dwi's ten years apart. I remarried 8 years ago and I pay rent 100.00 dollars a month for an attached three room appartment to my parents home, with taking care of remodeling their home and all their needs plus my wives. My wife and I have been living here for four years and I still have 11 months of probation left on a dwi with no drivers license.
In the last two years GOD has taken alcohol out of my life. Now the problem is i'm broke my wifes job is not enough for us to get started on our own. We have 80 acres of land a storage building full of tools and furniture and no shop to work out of or no home to live in and no credit because of hospital and doctors bills I could not pay. God has blessed me with mechanical knowledge to do anything and I am licensed by the state in air conditioning and plumbing.
Since the trouble with the law even though a misdimeaner is not as bad as a felony, employers are not interested in hiring me due to driving, age probably doesn't help and the economy. My wife and I want to get start to live again but just don't know how.
