Why did this happen to me?I didn't set out all those years ago to be a drunk!At frist it was to fit in with my friends and have some fun.By the time I was 21 it was clear if drink I got drunk.A few D.U.I's later and 20 years of ups and down,I have came to point;that its time to be free.

Cant answer your question, but I can tell you that for me, being an alcoholic has proven to be a blessing. I have received so many gifts in recovery. Things I could never have planned for myself.
Its a corny saying, but remember, "Its always darkest before the dawn"

Welcome. You're in the right place to find answers.

I stopped asking myself "why". The question i am trying to answer is "what am I going to do about it".

Willie - welcome! I wish I could answer the question of why - I'd probably be a very rich woman! But you will find a lot of support here, and that is truly priceless.
