What it was like?

It was a living hell for myself,my family & close friends.I put my family especially my wife through hell.

What happened?

Walked into a treatment center thinking i was going for some tests. Was in total denial. I actually did not think I had a drinking problem. Glad I did the 90 days program. Self awareness & self acceptance are key in this journey.

What it is like now?

*Dear Addiction* Some call you a disease I call you a monster Many have succumbed to you Many are still imprisoned by you You told me I couldn't do it I chose not to believe you this time "Progress not perfection" is the mantra 1461 days I've managed to keep you at bay 4 years I've learnt to deal with you I choose to fight this monster daily For those still imprisoned There is hope There is help Here's to 4 years of continuous sobriety.
