I'm done!

My name is Dave and I'm an alcoholic. I've been one for many years with a couple stints of sobriety in between. I did something the other night I swore I would never do. I drove drunk. Not just tipsy. I can only remember bits and pieces of the drive home. I could have killed somebody! A kid, a mother. I could have ruined innocent peoples lives, because I'm a drunk. In all my years of drinking, that was the one line that I said I would never cross.

I swore to myself that I'd kill myself before I ever let by alcoholism take control like this. But it has. But I'm not going to kill myself, so there's only one option. I'm done!

For years I've made excuses to myself that I was a "functioning" alcoholic. What a ridiculous term.

I'm on day four again, but this time I'm done. I......AM.......DONE!!!
