I think anyone can become addicted to alcohol. and I think anyone can quit.
I'm glad that you decided to take your life back!
I couldn't agree more...sometimes i think being addicted to alcohol is almost as common as catching poison ivy..only we make it more dramatic.
I avoid poison ivy at all costs....i get such a severe reaction and need steroids....i wish booze gave me the same symptoms.
