I guess u all expected it
I can't get sober. I FINALLY made it to a meeting..........called the first number on my list that they gave me, don't remember the conversation, but feel like I have made myself even a bigger idiot.
I think my mom was an alkie, but I never saw her passed out. My dad died from a head on collision with a "well, guess what?" DRUNK DRIVER. I was 2 yrs old. I am now 47, with a very strong need to get out of this rut. Is there really a higher power?

This is my experience, for you to take or leave as you see fit.

I've never met anyone who couldn't get sober who didn't want to be, WOC.
I tried off and on for 15 years - I tired different things and finally got the right amount of escape velocity

No such thing as a hopeless case. I've talked to countless men and women who thought they were as good as dead when they came to AA - just shy of wet brain, etc. and they are incredible examples of AA working.
