These stories won't keep you from crossing the line. But they may help you see it a lot clearer.
And maybe even avoid it.

I've lost my wife and children, my home, job after job and finally my freedom. I've been homeless, been to jail, prison and psychiatric hospitals. I attempted suicide twice. All from alcoholism.

Today, in recovery, I can lead a productive life. My children are grown and will have nothing to do with me. My wife has remarried and is happy. I help others avoid my mistakes. If a loved one wants you to quit drinking, listen to her/him. Quit now. If you have trouble quitting, help is available from AA or other organizations. You don't need to go all the way to the bottom if you can see where you're heading. Just do something now, it's never too soon.
