Unable to cope with how i felt.....unable to cope with life on life terms.
but me and you aint on our own......its a common problem for alcoholics.
i put as much effort into working the steps as i did my drinking and guess what.....l changed.
Maybe not over night but my whole outlook changed over time.
For me the programme of recovery laid out in the bb makes perfect sense.
i no longer feel .....unhappy without a drink...
