No more monkeys jumping on the bed....

But it took a lot more than fairy tales to get them off my back and out of my mind...

6 relapses...2 rehabs..and 4 dry knuckling..the last a miraculous intervention by my

Higher Power and the help of a dear friend...(this last time...I had "dabbled" with alcohol on and

off for a year))...but I know I needed those earlier rehabs as I had been hitting the booze daily

morning, noon, and night for at least two years prior to each entry. I was told the withdrawals

most likely would have killed me without medical supervision.

A lot depends on how long you've been drinking and the amount..the toxicity of your

system...

I truly believe..if you cannot quit..then go to detox!

And take it from there.

What I have found now working for me , "keeping" me....is AA and the 12 Steps, sober friends, a

great sponsor...


Lovingly,

Sherry
