I work every day, pay my bills but there came a day when I knew my drinking was destroying me, I could see it in the mirror staring back at me. I didn’t want anyone to know, I randomly called Guadalupe Center, I figured there, no one would know me. The counselor worked with me and let me see her individually she didn’t make me do the groups at first, I didn’t want to. It took me a while but I stopped drinking, I learned that I wasn’t an alcoholic rather a woman, mom, wife, that was “is” living with a disorder. A treatable disorder. I am 11 months clean now. I started groups eventually and I love them. I am not alone. The random call I made nearly a year ago, has changed my life, I am feeling better. – B
