Total freedom from alcohol addiction

By Peggy Glover——Petaluma, California

AFTER A DIVORCE When I was very young, I felt completely lost and afraid to face life alone with two small children. And I was consumed with anger toward my husband for his many infidelities. I began to drink.

Soon, I was drinking daily. Then I began taking my bottle of vodka to work and hiding it in the storeroom. Before long, I was drinking from the minute I woke up until I went to bed. I'd even take a drink with me in the car. It was my solace.

About four years later, a friend introduced me to Alcoholics Anonymous. I felt loved at the meetings, like someone cared about me. And I would try to stop drinking, but after a month or so, I'd start again. Nevertheless, the people at A.A. still cared about me and always welcomed me back. After about year, I started to really work through the program.
