I drank when I was alone and when I was not..I drank when my job was iffy and when it was secure...
and when it was iffy...I drank for fun and continued to drink after it depressed me.
I'm an alcoholic who kept drinking until I found a way to stop.
Yes.. AA is what I use and it's a better way of life for me...
Since I began AA...I've been mad...sad and glad...never bored....
