As a recovering alcoholic who was in active alcoholism from the age 15 to 28, I must have a guardian angel
The situations I got myself in particularly with men (As a drunk woman, you are very vulnerable to men, but I got myself in that situation. I knew what would happen when I drank because from the age of 15, I drank to get drunk initially it was for confidence but anyway I’m still here to tell the tale)
I remember some of what happened but not all of it, I do remember when I was living in Birmingham when I was about 23 l think, I got so drunk I was pushed out of a Taxi and I was in the middle of Birmingham and I just got myself the nearest house knocked on the door and a big black man answered the door and I said can you please take me to Spring Hill and bless his heart he did,now he could’ve dragged me in and murdered me and there were a lot of situations like that
Sorry if I’ve been too graphic for some of you, but that’s just the way it was and there were many many occasions similar to that where I could have been raped/murdered or both, in fact, I would be very surprised if I wasn’t raped I used to wake up, not know where I was, but I was usually in bed with a man
Anyway, I went to AA and got myself so sober with their help of course..
