Hospitalized Drinker
1992 had become the very worst year of my life â?? I had become a chronic alcoholic, no longer the person I had been brought up to be. The addiction to alcohol was so great that the only days I never drank were those spent in hospital for Detox and then finally for a spell in the Adult Psychiatric Department (after an intentional overdose). I was at the jumping off place and could not envisage a life with or without alcohol.
The lives of all those who cared for me had become a living nightmare, until I was introduced to the meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous. Here I was shown a way of living sober and enjoying sobriety that I could never have imagined 19 years ago. No greater love could have been shown to me by the members of Alcoholics Anonymous, who had been where I had been. Then I felt so ashamed to share with others and yet now am so very proud to be part of such a wonderful fellowship.
