Alcoholics drink daily, don’t they? Not in my case. Instead, more often than not, whenever I drank, I got drunk. Once I had taken the very first sip, I couldn’t tell you what I would do, where I would end up and who I would hurt along the way.
Fear of my behaviour stopped me drinking in front of my family. I gave up for long periods of time but inevitably, I would drink again and the whole downward spiral would start. My family suffered, particularly my husband who bore the brunt of my drunkard tirades; including verbal and physical violence. In desperation, I rang Alcoholics Anonymous and attended my first meeting. Here I heard my own story in many others and found understanding and hope that I too could quit drinking. The Program of Alcoholics Anonymous, its fellowship of understanding helped me so that today I am free of alcohol, love my children, appreciate my family, friends, life and even me. AA has done for me what I couldn’t do for myself and so much more. It is bliss living a life free from the bondage of alcohol, to be positive, loving and loved. ”
