Tragic women who drink themselves to death at home. Especially young women. They wake up covered in bruises and they have no idea how they got them. They have to be sick and tired of being sick and tired in order to have the necessary gift of desperation to go to any lengths to stay sober. I can only carry the message, not the alcoholic. And I end up having to watch many women crash and burn because I observe them not taking suggestion. I observe I'm not going to meetings, not talking to other people about what's bothering them, not asking for help, not picking up the phone, not helping a newcomer, not asking a higher power for a sober day. So I feel it's only a matter of time when I observe them not doing all these things. Half measures unfortunately avails them nothing. The predictable deterioration ensues, and the wheels come off. It's very sad that so many people don't make it, all we can do is carry the message than it wait for other people that are ready to take direction to get well.<br /><br />Your post made me think of the things (as far as i know) that people are supposed to do to stay stopped and so I wrote a post on it.
