Hi...
Im Sharon and Im an Alcoholic.
By the grace of my HP and people
like you here in SR I havent found
it necessary to pick up a drink of
alcohol since 8-11-90.
For that and you I am truely grateful.
We were in our 7th yr marriage
when intervention took place
where family stepped in sending
me to rehab where i spent 28
day recieving the tools and
knowledge of my alcoholism.
I took those tools and applied
them to my everyday affairs
to the best of my ability grow-
ing and changing every step
of the way.
As I grew and changed my little
family was left wondering what
happened to me.
Because i had a program to
live by the family didnt under-
stand me.
I learned early on that when
one person in the family is
sick with an illness, it affects
the entire family.
They offer programs for family
members to help them under-
stand the ill person and allows
them to take care of themselves
in a healthy way.
My little family didnt see any
need for that and they because
of that we grew apart with mis-
understandings.
My spouse and I ended a 25 yr
marriage due to that.
Since then i have remarried to
someone in recovery and we
continue to live by a remarkable
recovery program we incorperate
in our daily lives one day at a time.
