Oh, well ... WCT7, now you've learned that they all lie equally--the first one, and every one. So take a deep breath and take it hour by hour. Maybe make a big note to frame:


I drank to forget the pain of life, and the last 23 years sober have been full of hurt and failure--but since I was sober I was always able to get the help I needed to cope with it all.

I'm sending great big wishes that you'll find your way back to sobriety.
