Hi,
I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Naomi and I joined this site to better my life in a healthy way. I'm a recovering alcoholic and addict. I have been a friend of Bill W. since 2008. I, unfortunately, haven't been sober that long. I am a chronic relapser. But as of today, I haven't had a drink in over 2 years. I do also suffer from drug abuse but this group is about drinking so I won't get into the drug aspect of my recovery as this is about drinking. Alcoholism runs in my family and I truly believe that it is hereditary. My mother, grandmother, uncle, brother, and father all suffered from alcoholism as well as myself. So I keep my disease upfront and surround myself with positive women and men in Alcoholics Anonymous.
