My story - my sister died as an alcoholic 20+ years ago. She did not have nearly the support we have now-a-days and alcoholism wasn't recognized medically like it is now. It was soooo taboo. I think that if she were dealing with it now, she would make it. We are so blessed to be living in this age where we can talk to anybody in the world at anytime of the day/night about any topic.

So part of me feels like I HAVE to make it through this not only for me and my family, but for her. She deserved to live. . . and so do WE!!!
