A Chance to Learn

FOR ME, two of the most dangerous words in my vocabulary are "I deserve." In the first three years of my sobriety, my world seemed to be on a disaster course, and all I could do was watch it fall apart. My husband fought my insistence that I attend meetings. He told me I could be anything I wanted to be, but not an alcoholic, because I was too good to be with of people. This attitude continued, and after nine months, I to a decision to go to any length to what I had found in the program. So I filed for divorce.
