See, unlike a lot of folks here, the horror stories were exactly what I was needing to be scared straight. I refused to believe the stories I heard in AA and thought them to be over dramatized. But once I spent some hours here, searching and digging, I realized ingesting poison will, infact, kill me if I continue. Based upon the honesty of the shares here, it finally hit me. The truth has to be known.
Not dwelled upon, but known.
