Constructive Action

I really wanted my drinking problem to go away. I'd been waiting for it to go away for a long time, but things just kept getting worse. I woke up one morning with a hangover, but no worse than usual. I sat there waiting to feel better when suddenly it dawned on me that I could wait around my whole life but nothing was going to change until I took some constructive action. I phoned someone I knew who'd been sober in AA for several years and she put me in touch with a woman who took me to my first meeting.
