No, not alone Least.
I'm one of those who tried...many times. Denial crept back, time after time, and I
listnened to that voice that said.."You're not one of "those people"...."you're different,
stronger, you can handle it this time!"
The thought of never drinking and using again was so frightening...it made me quickly
forget the horrors of the past.
But, we can and do recover!
Congrats to all of you for whatever time you have, don't stop trying.
And, you can't fail unless you give up.
A beautiful thread, Least...
Hugs, all.
