When I couldn't imagine life with or without alcohol, that's when I came to AA and surrendered to alcohol and the program of recovery. What I found were people just like me who had experienced what I was experiencing. I made many friends and continue to make friends. When we are drowning, we climb into the last life boat available, and for me it was AA. I had to stay sober long enough to get sober. I was told that it gets better. And I have found that to be true daily.
