Before anything I received a gift- desperation. The pain of getting drunk had finally exceeded the pain of reality. Gave myself two choices-AA or suicide.
I chose AA. Went to a meeting. Got the big book, read it. Prayed. Went to a meeting, read the big book. Started doing what it said( the results of what would happen if I did what it said sounded pretty dam good,). Fought the mental obsession. Went to meetings,prayed....and repeated.
Been working pretty good so far for me.
Me and my life keep gettin better,too!
