Abstract:
I included the parts of my life that explain why I drank, why I felt it was time to stop, and how The Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous helped me face my fears without alcohol and live a more meaningful and happier life. I also included how a search for reassurance in some kind of God led me to believe in a creator and how living sober led me to believe in myself. I know my story will help people see they don’t have to feel ashamed because of a drug or alcohol problem and believe they too can face their fears and be happy in life without depending on a substance.
