Really good clear description of the alcoholic.
Isolated alone, fearful, not fitting in until, early teens introduced to alcohol.
I really appreciated the honesty of drug use, and the fact that it was used’ alcoholically ‘ I could really relate
Good for newcomer,

“An essence of somebody that you’ve always wanted to be…”

Those words spoke directly to my soul…. this share was amazing and reminded me of just how blessed I am to have found the Fellowship and the older sober members that loved me back to life .

Very good for newcomers. It explains what alcoholism is, the self delusional thinking, no mental defense over the first drink, what makes alcoholics different than normal drinkers.
