Alkie Speaks

[MajestyJo]

Really like to read the Alkie Speaks, I so identify with it. This from the person who was in so much denial about being an alcoholic. I knew I was an addict, who came to realize she used alcohol like she used other substances. Yet I had to take it further than that, I had to take Step One, 100%, and I had to say that dreaded word 'alcoholic' and mean it.

I can identify with many people, no matter what room you put me in because I have learned NOT to compare. The 12 Steps are a common denominator. A drug is a drug, no matter what form it takes. As I like to say, liquid, solid, or the flesh and blood variety, I am powerless over people, places, and things.
