I'll keep it relatively short. I was a very shy and anxious kid. Made it through high school without drinking. Once I got to college, all bets were off. I took my first drink (Bacardi Limon) and was instantly hooked. It let me talk to girls and be sociable. From the time I was 18 until I was 28 I progressed. By the end of my drinking "career" I was drinking a liter of whiskey (or anything else I could get my hands on) everyday. I finally went to detox for a week and then to an IOP for 6 months. I've been sober for almost 6 years now. I am now a functioning member of society, and employable worker, loving husband, and proud father of a son who was born on the night I received my one year coin (no coincidences in AA). In a few weeks, I'll have 6 years of sobriety and my son will turn 5. God willing, he will NEVER see me drunk. That's my story in one paragraph.
