Woelcome to SR Weston!

It took me a long, long time to admit I was alcoholic...and much longer to "accept"

that fact. There was a difference in the two for me. At first I could not face the

the thought of never drinking again. Then, after so many demoralizing and dangerous

episodes of relapse, I finally admitted again...nd accepted the fact.

I still did not "like" it!

In recovery, however, I learned to wipe "never"..out of my brain and take it one minute,

one hour, then one day at a time.

I go to AA..and have a new, wonderful and free life.

Best wishes and many blessings.
