Need some help
Alcohol has, and continues to be a major factor in troubles in my life.
Yet, no reasonable person could argue that it's the "demon" drink that is the root of all pain. I feel like crying with frustration when well meaning people truly believe that nothing awful or regretful, could or would have happened had I never drank.
If I were more humble, drive out my ego, I would never have been adopted (at six) weeks, my biological Mother did not drink, just for the record, she did chain smoke, hey ho.
I would not ever choose the "wrong" men to love, the list is endless, my apple tree would not have died last year had I been sober !
