Hi Im Sharon. I am an alcoholic
here in Baton Rouge, La.
By family did an intervention
on me back in Aug. 1990
when they realized I needed
help and they couldnt do it
alone without proper help.
Officers came to my house
to pick me up and take me
for an evaluation over night
in a hospital.
The hospital was a rehabillitation
center beginning on the bottom
floor in the phyciatric ward.
I passed all the test they thru
at me and it was determined
that I had a problem with alcohol
and admitted me to a 2 week
rehab program.
At the end of that time I was to be
sent to a halfway house away from
my little family for 6 weeks. I begged
them to keep me there and that I
would do what ever was needed to
not be sent away.
So I completed 28 days, went home
and continued on with a 6 week out
patiant aftercare program.
I tool the tools and knowledge handed
to me about my alcoholism and applied
it to my everyday living a day at a time.
That was 20 yrs ago of many sober
days collected together to get me
where I am today. Happy joyous
and free.
