01 What it was like

My kids hated me, I had lost my job, my house was in foreclosure and I was looking at prison. Most of all I just wanted to die.

02 What happened

I knew I had to stop but also knew I couldn't. I called the AA hotline and an angel (DianeP.) Took me to a meeting every day until I could get there myself. I was completely broken an for the first time ever I did what people told me to do.

03 What it is like now

Today, I have everything I lost and so much more. I have a wonderful family that has grown with my loving, sober husband and his family. An amazing career, a beautiful home and a life absolutely worth living.
