I just try to be a little bit better today than I was the day before and not have to numb myself to the feelings that I have inside.

Annamarie has been sober since 2009. She started drinking in her early 30's. Up until that point, she was using food as her addiction. Following a surgery, she started out doing great and felt good about herself until the day she didn't and that void was then filled with alcohol. Things progressed quickly with her addictive personality. She began to drink to the point of oblivion and while she knew she needed help, she wasn't ready. We need to be ready, we need to want to change and be willing to change as addicts and alcoholics. Hear how Annamarie finally decided that she'd had enough and got the help she needed. Listen to her story here.
