As has been reported to someone on the crisis board.

My name is Y'vonne and I am an alcoholic.. I have been sober for over a month now. My son is clean for over 50 days.. I am proud of him and myself.. It is a disease and I am not afraid to share my experience with anyone,.,. I came from an abusive home with an alcoholic step-father. Who would have thought I would end up like this?

It takes strong people to work on theirselves and their diseases.. I am a strong person and I will beat this.. Thats all.. Thanks for listening..
