Open Alcoholism
Started drinking at age 15. Have always been a binge drinker. Would drink until I blacked out or passed out. Has taken a great toll on my marriage, as my personality totally changed when I drank. I've been in rehab three times. After the first time, I was sober for 5 1/2 year. Then my mother got cancer and died, and I went back out again. Two more times in rehab, and I now have 2+ years sober, by the grace of God.
