PO Box 1980

In the latter eight years of my drinking, life had become unmanageable. I was full of remorse, dishonesty, resentment, self-pity, and fear. I blamed people, places, and things for my drinking. I tried pledges and changing from one kind of drink to another, but I was only fooling myself. Nothing worked. I felt so lonely, and I drank on and on until I couldn't take any more. I was so depressed I just wanted to die, but couldn't. I was six days sober when AA found me.
