Sami spent years in denial of her alcoholism. She is cross addicted and accepted she was a pill popper long before she admitted to her disease of being an alcoholic. Thirty-three years of precious moments, family events, and relationships were stolen due to this insidious disease. She was sick mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually until the day God guided her to a program of recovery.
Sami believes in destiny and it was God who brought her to Alcoholics Anonymous. In return she is convinced AA brought her to the personal relationship she has with God. While in the rooms she experienced her first, of many, spiritual experiences with God and it was astounding, and she knew it was fate. She, at last, reached the beginning of her journey to a happy, joyous, and free life.
From the very beginning she knew the program only works if you work it, and that you must go to any length to remain sober. Most importantly she learned she is not alone, because through her discovery there are millions of others like her--admitted alcoholics, yet others who have not made it to the rooms.
Journaling has been a life line to her soundness of mind. She believes her book will be instrumental to others who struggle thinking they are alone in this dark hell of alcoholism. A disease so cunning, baffling, and powerful that it convinces us we do not have a disease.
