Ah yes.....the odor of alcohol seeped from my pores.

I often took 3 showers before work.....along with
my breakfast of 2 Screwdrivers ..1 tranquilizer ..
.Visine and Alka-Seltzer.
Scurring to work....head down so no one would think I was a drunk.
Paranoid? Every morning.

My job? A cocltail waitress. ...

I alwyas said if I got fired for my drinking
I would quit drinking.

I did get fired....and was shocked to find out
I could not quit drinking on my own....

I was in an AA meeting that noon.
That was the beginning of my recovery
tho I did return to alcohol after my decision.

Yes....I had to want to quit...more than I wanted to drink.
I so hope you too reach that point.....
