Everyone who knew me and the one person that didn't know me....me!

Then there were "THOSE" people who really knew me that said, "So, you're hopeless, Ahh?" "Well then" there is HOPE for you!"

yep, I was the only one who had doubts...but I think that's only cause I was the only one who knew how bad my problem was! Living alone is a dangerous thing when you have an addiction.

None.

on the one hand i was sure there was no chance of recover..on the other hand i still held on to the hope that God wouldn't give up on me and sure enough He didn't give up on me and here i am..thank God.

Most people told me I was depressed which was correct, I was depressed because I was always drinking!! Nobody really wanted me to be alcoholic, however I knew (eventually)

I dont think anyone thought I could do it. When the hours turned into days and then weeks people became too nervous to ask me as they didnt want to 'rub my nose in it'. Today, people are both delighted and amazed for me.

To me, it is still a miracle but a great person told me that miracles would happen and now I believe them. What a journey we are all on.

On the night of my 1 year anniversary I got a card from the psychiatrist that had to deal with my while I was in rehab. Of course it said Congratualtions. When I opened it there was just one line.

"So much for scientific prognosis, Good Job".

Weird, some people were totally convinced I was on death's door, totally washed up. And then there was another camp who completely denied anything was wrong with me-just going through another marie thing-20 years in the making! SHeez though, at the site of me at the end you would have been digging my grave-I was yellow!

Then there was my dogs-who knew it all and still had hope for me.

EVERYONE has a chance......
