Hi - everyone I know and everywhere I still go, knew me as a falling down, foolish drunken woman. That was a little over seven months ago. Now I walk sober, with my head held high. I must do this for not only my loved ones, but really mostly for myself. At times, a tear will run down my face. I can not walk in shame anymore, since it serves no purpose. Some folks still talk about me, behind my back. Some folks are rooting for me and I feel their smiles. The latter is what helps so very much.
