What it was like?

I never knew when to quit even tho I knew keeping on living the way I was was keeping me furthur away from the life I needed to live. I lost everything and everyone close to me and kept on losing more living in run down hotel rooms a rooming shack my possessions all fit into a duffle bag literally nothing if I didnt drink I'd get the shakes I had so many nasty health issues from the toxic life I chose. I was depressed and as much as I missed my children I just couldn't stop. I had visits and leaving those visits in tears to pick up instantly was how I spent many years till one day that was it nowhere to live and arrested for assault I had to surrender and made a call to a recovery house and off I went.
