I went to my first AA meeting 6th April 1991 and I've kept coming back since and with the help of AA & my Higher Power I have not had a drink a day at a time. I did not drink every day but I needed to drink at weekends to keep me sane to help release the madness in my head. I drank mainly in pubs but I remember thinking if I keep drinking I ll have to drink at home. I did not like being drunk in public (my pride). I could no longer keep up the pretense of being ok when internally I was cracking up. At the end I was suicidal & afraid to die in case I went somewhere worse. Thanks to prayers & my Higher power I found AA and got a fellowship & a program for living.
