At one point or another alcohol gave me everything, but then it took everything away. I am one of those alcoholics that still had alot of "yets" but eventually I hit all of them, I had not lost a job, so I did, I had not gone to jail or prison, so I did that too.
In the end which is today I have 472 days sober and I love myself today. Alcohol gave me an adventerous life and a sense of self worth by being able to get and want to stay sober.
