To each and every one of you who have courteously taken the time to read my story....
Thank you sincerely!
This Goddam disease presents us all with a battle worth winning...
There are so many degrees of alcoholism - it doesn't matter HOW far down any of us have gone....
The ends are always the same - terror, bewilderment, frustration and despair!
We have a solution - and that is with the UNITY of each other and MWO
Bless you all x

WOW! I have just re-read my wee story from three years ago, and I can only say that our disease is so ver progressive. Since my story was written on this thread in 2009 I have been an active 'junkie' or needle user and spent 15 months in prison - and in the year after I got out of jail, I STILL drank and did drugs. On Feb 22 2011 we had the second of at least three devastating earthquakes here in Christchurch where I live. On that quake in particular (22/3/11) over 165 people died. I was sober that day and in the city when it struck. I have footage on my phone still of the actual quake and the minutes after when I started helping people not die. It was the worst thing I have EVER experienced and it was nothing but a MIRACLE that I wasn't drinking when it happened. I was not having one of my 'sobrities' or going to AA, I guess I was probably a bit broke. But the feeling I experienced as I dragged people to safety and watched others dying, and the thought was 'If I was drunk people could die around me and I would not be able to save them',, I HAVE NOT HAD A DRINK SINCE
