Alcoholism. It's a journey only those who have taken can understand. Imagine a life where your very existence is dependent upon drinking. At first, it begins as just having fun while partying...or maybe life's situations has forced you to drink to forget the pain. Soon, it becomes out of control. All or nothing. You know that to continue, you will lose everything you have...including sooner or later...your life - or someone else's. Yet the seductive lure of Lady Alcohol constantly calls your name. She is your mistress - your lover- the one you will give up everything else for, just to keep her in your life. These are the stories of those for whom alcohol overshadows their lives... It has stolen dreams, respect, marriages, relationships. It has taken some lives too soon, while others wait for the inevitable, drowning their sorrows as they tick off the minutes until death has come. Some are given a second chance...many are not as lucky. These are the stories you will remember... From a hell-raising life spent in a small town, to lives in residences for late stage chronic inebriates, to living homeless for many years waiting for that one small step out of despair, the common theme is simple... There, but for the grace of God, go I.
