I hurt inside at the age of thirteen. I drank in an attempt to make myself feel better. I tried for the next twenty-one years to erase the pain, to feel better and to undo what alcoholI had done to me. It only took alcohol two decades to take away my hope, dreams, health, self-esteem, courage, finances, intelligence, good will, smile, joy and in the end it came within moments of taking my life.
I feel much better now and I did it all without the aid of alcohol.
