Yep. Grim statistics. But hey, lots of long term sober people here and in AA. I'm sticking with those guys and staying in the middle of their lifeboat. Jump on in and hold on tight. When you've got your balance you can help haul some other poor soak to safety.
Statistically some people DO make it. There's no reason it can't be me, or you. We have to just keep doing the work, and never forget what can happen if we take just one drink.
