Tigerlilly…
Welcome to the club. And the club being one alcoholic/addict reaching out to another. That is how we do it.

I am a alcoholic, my father probably was one as well, and my grandfather before him. My brother and one of my sisters drinks, in my opinion, too much as well. But it isn’t about any of them, it’s about me and what I am prepared to do today to not drink today.

That is the question I am going to ask you. Are you prepared to go to any lengths to get and stay sober Tigerlilly? There is no program in this world, or pill a doctor has invented that can fix you if you say anything other than YES.

Your alcoholism wants you dead. People who posted before me told you tales of alcohol’s price others have paid. It will never willingly let you go. It will use every trick in the book to get you drunk one more time. And once we start drinking, all is lost. You know this!

My advice, for what it’s worth, get yourself to the nearest AA meeting you can find. Alone you are powerless over if you drink or not, you will drink. I guarantee it. But with the help of other women, who understand what you are going through, you have a chance. And where are you going to find these women? In a recovery environment, that’s where.

Again I ask, are you willing to do anything to get this elusive sobriety? Or are you not?
