Struggling with alcohol is like wrestling a thousand snakes.

I read the words from my memoir and want to weep for the trapped soul that I was.

Stopping has been transformational!

Drinking is always emotionally complex for those of us who grey up in an alcoholic home. The guilt! The awareness of what it can do! The pain of our own addiction. The shame of it.

The only way out is to stop.
