By the end of my long drinking years I detested
the woman I had become.
I still had a job...an apartment...a couple of Siamese cats
a lover....friends.....credit cards and money. I had not lost
my looks ...no DUI's I was 48. externally everything was A-ok.
Inside ...mentally....I was cold and empty. Depression was daily.
When my psychiatrist diagnosed me wuth situational depression
he suggested AA recovery.
One unexpected gift ....I've been finding joy in my fantastic
new life, I was hoping to quit drinking...glad to discover much more.
There are members here with successful sobriety who do not
use AA or any formal method to win over addiction.
There is no one way to recover.
