"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!
