The way it is

"None so blind as those who will not see".

This simple quote describes my denial to the letter.  When I drank, I did not think.  Thinking was drinking.  Reasoning was drinking.  Sadness was drinking,  Happiness was drinking.  Everything in my life revolved around drinking.  East, west, life, death, north & south.  It was all about the drink.  I just did not see who I was or what was happening to me.

One painful day I saw myself as others had seen me for years.  I opened my eyes and did not like what I saw.  It made me ill.  All the alcohol in the world could not erase the image I now had of myself

Something had to be done.  Something had to be done!
