My friend is a black out alcoholic. Every day. She drinks and drives places and goes to sleep in her vehicle. A few times she's gotten arrested. So we put one of the devices on the vehicle so we can find her...man.

She doesn't see that she's wrong and says she's not hurting anyone. We almost talked her into rehab but she won't go. She even went to jail for a few days and saw that as a positive life event.

No shit.

I almost died, that's what got me sober. I know nothing a person says will make a difference.

What did you do, what did you see or hear that made you decide to get sober?

Lost a cousin to hypothermia two weeks ago. He was found in his truck. He wasn't sober. As for myself, I was in my fifth go-round of treatment and the first faith-based program. I remember, literally, saying to God in prayer, if you are real I need you to show me the way out of this. 35 years of trying to figure out the right way to do wrong stopped then as best as I can tell. 5 years of sobriety last November.

Congratulations on the sobriety brother. o/

My drunken friend's mom yelled at me for "enabling and rescuing" my drunk friend; no way am I leaving someone outside.
