While I Was in Prison

Like it says on page 33 of the Big Book, "One doesn't necessarily have to drink a long time nor take the quantities some of us have." I am 42 years old and have spent the last 11 years in and out of prison due to my alcoholism. When I was younger, I felt I didn't fit in. Then I started drinking and all my fears vanished. I thought I could have everything—women, money, my dreams—the sky was the limit.
