I was talking to someone after a meeting about this, GracieLou. How we all look so different, are different ages, come from different walks of life, have different "bottoms," drank different amounts - yet we are all so similar in what goes in our heads with this addiction.
If that little voice creeps into my head doubting whether I'm an alcoholic (and it does daily because my urge to drink is still very strong), I go to a meeting and it wipes out any doubt whatsoever. I'm right where I belong there.
