My name is Judi and I am an alcoholic. For more than 40 years I've known that I was an alcoholic. I just didn't have a name for my affliction until about 10 years ago. I had my 1st drink at the age of 17 and on that same day I became pregnant with my son who is 40 years old today. Over the days and weeks to come, I'll fill you in on how I came to know that I didn't drink like everyone else and how my alcoholism blossomed and became the master of my life. Fortunately, I'm in one peice today which in and of itself is a miracle since I've taken several falls breaking bones and spirit in the process. And with the exception of an isolated incident in 2006, I've been able to stay away from serious legal troubles and prison. I did serve a short sentence and I'll get into that in another post. I decided to start this blog to encourage, first myself to stay sober for the entire year and hopefully to encourage others who are also struggling with addiction which can take many forms, alcohol, drugs, sex, food to name a few. Anything that makes one powerless is an addiction and there is an answer. We're never cured but a good life free from the bonds of an addikctive task master is possible. I will do my very best to answer all posts. I wish you all a Very Happy New Year
