I never believed I had an addiction to Alcohol or anything else for that matter. I felt like with a little will power I could just stop. I compared my experiences to those in worse situations so I couldn’t be that bad… until I was sent to jail for DUI. I only got one some people have more. I continued with this thinking and kept drinking until I was evicted for non payment of rent…. I can’t be that bad I could get another one…. Until I was denied. I continued with the drinking until my Nursing License was taken away…… I can always get it back…. Until it cost me 13,000 to do so and plan trips to Sacramento to convince the Nursing Board that …. I’m not that bad……”” “ITS THE LIE I FEED MYSELF BUT THE TRUTH IS…. I HAVE AN ADDICTION TO ALCOHOL AND IM READY TO FACE IT NOW”
