I am an alcoholic. I am an addict. I am an adult child of an alcoholic. I was married to an alcoholic and have a son who is a self admitted alcoholic and addicted to crack.
A drug is a drug. Alcohol is a drug. Anything I put between me and who and what my God wants me to be in today, is my `god`of the day.
