I was a "high functioning alcoholic" who was starting to lose my grip on the functioning aspect. However, it was very difficult for me to admit I was alcoholic because I had kept the same occupation for over five years, was wedded, had a home, had nice apparel, etc. Once I set out to attend A.A. meetings, I met others who drunk just like me, felt like me, and lived like me. That ability to connect and identify is what began me on the road to a daily recovery. I never thought I could experience my life without alcohol. Today I am so thankful to wake up and know what came about the night before, not be struck with self-reproach or regret, and feel physically good.
