Family intervention was done on me when
I failed to go willing to the hospital after
scaring them after downing pills and wanting
to die.

I fought my spouse with all my might because
I had thrown up what I had injested and felt
fine enough to not have to go to the hospital.

Well, out of concern, some phone calls were
made and before I knew it the authorities came
to pick me up and take me to a rehab facility to
be evaluated.

I passed all physcological test and was told
I had a drinking problem. So I remained in
rehab for 28days receiving the tools and knowledge
of my addiction before I was set on my own to
return home and begin my recovery journey
living a day at a time without alcohol.

That was 22 yrs. ago as Im still on my recovery
journey today passing on my own experiences,
strengths and hopes with others that r struggling
with addiction.

That act of desperation and concern for my
well being from my family saved my ass and
for them and the program of AA, I am blessed
and sober today.
