17 years ago today I decided to end my life. Drunkenness, depression, anger, remorse and fear had taken their toll. I wanted OUT!! Instead I walked three miles to a hospital emergency room in St. Paul, MN. I begged for help. I have not had a drink since. I was blessed to develop coping skills and make friends with wonderful people who guided me away from the bottle. I also developed a personal relationship with God.
Sobriety is a reality if we open up to others and focus our attention on God and not our addiction.
