Hi, I'm Gretchen and I'm an alcoholic.
I'm trying to save myself and my family from my drinking. Still struggling though with my will versus my Higher Power's. When I want to drink, I really want to drink, and don't have much reasoning about it.
Very scared of myself, and my evil ways.
Thanks

Thanks Mike. I have been going to my AA meetings and I have a sponsor. I am beginning my 4th step, but very fearful of that next drink.
Thank you again

Hey Gretchen...Good Deal...I'm doing a final on my 3rd tonight w/my sponsor. Not a final exam, but going to discuss some things. We will begin journey with 4 this evening! Looking forward to the continued healing...Your Friend in Recovery...Mike
