I take exception with Annie Grace’s story becsuse it says at the end that she still will take a few drinks socially.
When you’re an alcoholic, you know you can’t take one drink because it will put you in danger of “picking up” again.
Did she go to AA? The radio segment didn’t say?
It’s vague, to say the least.
She constantly drank each day and had to have drinks before boarding a plane at 6:30 in the morning.
That’s an alcoholic but she never mentions that word. Did she go to AA to recover?
A lot seems to have been left out of the segment. There are several questions she never answered.
This segment needs more clarification and answers.
