Description
I'm not famous, and you don't know me, but you may be familiar with my disease of alcoholism. I'm not a special alcoholic or a unique alcoholic; I'm just an average alcoholic. My life experiences are no better or worse than anyone else's, but they are unique to me. Those bits and pieces shaped who I was, how I changed and who I am today.
Alcohol saved my life before it ruled my life and ultimately destroyed my life. I couldn't walk the road to sobriety alone, no matter how hard I tried. With the help of others like myself I was able to rekindle my long dormant spiritual roots and receive a gift of grace through an honest and deep connection with my own being, my fellows and my innate moral principles.
With human and spiritual help, anyone of us can get sober and find a new, extraordinary life. The reward far surpasses the effort, and is available to all.
