I was that woman also.

ANd I ate every pill in the house
and drank the last of all the booze
and somehow

I woke up.

I'd lost my kids
job
friends
reputation

everything.

I felt exactly like lushly posted.

I know something scarier than dying.
And that's trying to die
and not being able to.

But I've managed to turn this life around
through the Grace of God and
the program of Alcoholics Anonymous
nothing about that life exists any more
except the vivid memory....
my kids are part of my life
I'm in school
implying that I"m looking forward to having more life...
I'm clean and sober...

it is possible to change everything, lushly.

I am the walking talking typing proof of that.

What are you doing for your recovery?
You don't have to wind up like this woman.
What are you doing, today .... to have a different story?
