I was a slave to the behavior patterns of alcoholism. I was chained to negativity, with no hope of cutting loose. The Steps offered me an alternative. . .
Today I can choose to open the door to freedom and rejoice in the sunlight of the Steps, as they cleanse the spirit within me.

I am not an alcoholic but I fell in love with someone who was. I realised one needn't be an alcoholic to understand. I grapple with the same problems only on a different level - emotional dependence for example. I read your blog daily, something I do reflexively and these words here comfort me and many a time I have drawn solace when I've wandered in here, angry at times or hurt. I thought it is important to let you know that this blog has touched my life in many ways.
I appreciate the effort and care you've put into it.
Thank you.
