There's only one addiction I feel competent to treat--to alcohol. I've done a lot of study of the subject, but more than that I have my own personal experiences with drinking too much & too often. I've been totally sober for 40 years now, but my memories are clear of the draw, the miseries, the dangers of drinking, & the pure elation I felt upon quitting, Now I have long-term gratitude to God that I finally stopped the behavior that was creating so many negatives and destroying so many positives in my life. Also, I know what it's like to be married to an alcoholic. My husband kept drinking for 7 more years after I became sober. If alcohol is hurting you or your spouse, I would love to help
