Coming home

I tried to be "normal". I tried to tell myself I can drink once and awhile. I have lied, cried, and almost died. Recovery is the only way to reclaim my life. My name is Lisa and I am an addict/alcoholic.

It takes what it takes to receive the gift of desperation. Use this gift to start on the road to recovery. It can be done as many here can attest to

Me too Lisa. I talked myself back into it many times, always determined that using willpower would save me. Controlling it never worked once. I'm glad you found us - this is a great place to share how you're feeling. You're never alone.
