Name: Jackie

Age: 35

Sober Since: 06 / 04 / 2015

Sober For: 8 Years & 323 Days

What it was like?

I was lost hurting and turned to drinking to fill the void. Over six years I turned from drinking after work with friends to drinking in the morning before work, on lunch breaks and into all hours of the night. I couldn't imagine a life without a cocktail in my hand, or very close by.

What happened?

I woke up one morning so sick I thought I would die. I could barely stand, my mother found me crumpled in a ball on the floor and called an ambulance, I spent the next few days looking for help and getting connected with AA group.

What it is like now?

Life is beautiful. I no longer run to a neon sign for my joy and happiness.
