Yesterday, did anybody have an opportunity to catch the Oprah show. Three women different backgrounds and alcohol.
The first women 2 children, I don't remember if there was a father or not. She hit rock bottom. 30 day rehab program, and before she left, signed a contract with her parents(who were in the audience) that if she ever drank again they would sue for custody of her kids and take her house from her.
Second women repeatedly drinking and driving. The end for her was when she went out driving drunk with her 5 yr. old, caused a 15 car accident, arrested, DUI and alot of people to face. There were two of the people in the audience, one a bus driver and a man who had his 1 yr. old son in the car.
The third women, was a business women that said she realized she drank too much for years. Her hubby was in recovery almost 20 yrs. She stated that once she made up her mind to quit, she did. Of course with the support of her hubby. Oprah showed concern for her. There is more to recovery than the women was showing interest for.
I thought it was so close to home for many of us here, especially those of us with families. We have been around the same corners in different ways before we came to MWO.
