A trip to Mexico.

I ended up moving back into my original house I had started, with the owner wanting me to leave, and my refusal to that, leading to a confrontation. I eventually went back to the VA and another program. Here I was in another 30-day program. I lost track of how many programs I have been in at this point. This turned out to be another waste of time, because when I left the program after thirty days I went to a bar and was drinking again. The pain problem was overwhelming me. I ran an advertisement looking for a women who wanted to go to Europe with me, because my thinking was I could get pain relief over there. I found a young girl who wanted to make the trip, but she could not get a passport, because of some problem with the government at the time, so we went to Mexico. Just another disaster for me. I ended up in a motel room down there, just drinking until my Aunt who was visiting a friend came by and returned me to the US and the VA hospital near San Diego. I was there for a few hours while they detoxed me and then decided to come home to Alameda. I need to say despite all these negative occurrences with attempting to control pain, I finally succeeded many years ago getting it all under control. I do not drink like I once did and my medications have worked well for me for seven years now.
