| My Story
Co Dependent Alcoholic
People-pleasing self-destructive drunk! I didn't have the guts to stand
up for myself. I used alcohol as my voice, but the words were slurred! Life happened and I took it all personally. I dwelled on the past, drank every day by 4:01pm
and went to work everyday. My bottom was an emotional one...another man couldn't put up with my alcohol-induced mouth.
Sober date: Feb. 3 2007
My higher power carries me now. What I thought was my "bottom" was in reality my spiritual awakening. I can speak up for myself, in a kinder, gentler way. My sense of humor is more refined; my perception of reality has been
put back on track; I deal with the tasks at hand, whether they be a confrontation or a catastrophe, using the tools of healthy detachment, live and let live, keeping it simple, and laughing at myself. I owe it mostly to my higher power and I also thank myself for staying sober and paying attention.:atv
