My Obsession with Alcohol and My Recovery

This is a book detailing how I grew up with my friend "Alcohol" and how I used it frequently to feel good, to relax, and to overcome shyness. OH yes, I started consuming alcohol as a child. I was given small quantities such as a sip or a watered down amount in a corduial glass a couple of times a year and a sip of beer occasionaly. But that was not enough so I just stole from my dad and enjoyed and enjoyed. But, alcohol is fickle and eventually it turned on me and was no longer my friend. then, I had to go to AA for help and in listening to many others who had gone through similiar experiences and observing how they lived, I gradually changed my lifestyle. I gave up the use of alcohol to alter my mood, stopped visiting drinking places and associating with those who drank and substituted other non-drinking activities. Life became enjoyable again and I no longer felt despondency about my life being almost over.
