Carol grew up with an alcoholic father and became an alcoholic herself. She describes starting drinking at 12 years old with her father, escaping the alcoholic home in her mid-teens and how alcohol became part of her social fabric. Carol went on to marry an alcoholic and when they separated her drinking took her and her young daughter on an alcohol fuelled journey to despair. After hospitalizations, car accidents and trouble with the law Carol sought help through rehab and found the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous. Understanding the disease concept of alcoholism and with the help of AA members Carol lost the desire for alcohol fairly quickly, started being honest and to participate in society again.If you think that alcohol may be a problem then Alcoholics Anonymous could help you.
