She's not the only impaired driver out there endangering others...and many won't even CONSIDER rehab.


There are a number of folks in my home AA group who are "retreads" or who are back after going back out and doing "market research" - sometimes more than twice...and they shudder now at who they might have killed.

And I have met one or two that weren't that 'lucky'.

Jail is ok if she has access to meetings...most jails have them.

And some people have to hit bottom several times or more.

Believe me...no one is more puzzled and upset than she is. Who relapses on purpose? No one.

But it's like recovering from a heart attack - you follow doc's orders and take the meds and walk every day....or you will relapse.

In L's case - you do NOT go back to clubs right away and drink just pop. It's too soon.

As I have heard in the program: "If you don't want to slip, stay out of slippery places."

Hey, L, come on up here and be anonymous...we've got a chair for you Monday nights.

A lot of alkies die in the streets...if only they were accorded the same attention...
