people that would make me feel all alone
were the very ones right there in my
immediate family. It was the lack of
understanding and communication.
Once i got into recovery and was
taught and learned about my addiction
i immediately became knowledgeable
about it. That knowledge left the rest
of my family in question.
I always say that it takes an addict
or alcoholic to know one and in my
situation, i was the only one with an
addiction to alcohol in my little family
so they truly didn't know me or understand
my illness or my recovery.
Anyway, that is why i felt all alone in
my family because of that lack of under-
standing and communication. So, i retreated
to many many aa meetings to surround
myself with others just like me who have
been there or done the same similar things
in life i have.
and..... We in recovery have a solution to
incorporate in our everyday life in learning
to live a sober, clean, healthy, happy, honest,
way of life for many yrs to come. 
im no longer all alone like i use to
be yrs ago. Today i belong.
