long overdue
After a particularly devastating (for me and my partner and a good friend) incident Friday night, I have finally realized that I MUST change my life. I was taken to the hospital in an ambulance after swallowing an entire bottle of sleeping pills while in the depression brought on by too much booze. My first AA meeting was about a dozen years ago, so this problem is nothing new. But I think I've finally found my "bottom" ... I HAVE to quit before I hurt myself and those people in my life that (for whatever reason) still love me. I am 45 year-old mother of 2 wonderful young men, I have a good job, and a good life. I clearly have demons that need to be dealt with from my past, and intend to exorcise those things from my life, but for now I simply will not drink. I am so thankful that I found this site. I know the road will not be easy but I think you all will help me on that journey. I haven't had a drink since that night, and do not even WANT one ...
