My name is Dianne, and I am
a very grateful recovering alcoholic.

I say that I'm an alcoholic, because alcohol had become my "drug of choice". Actually though, I can become addicted to anything that makes me feel good from the "outside in" instead of the "inside out".

My last drink (I hope) was on October 14th, 1988. Recovery has been a long and rocky road. But it has been a journey of self-discovery that I would not trade for anything in the world.

I believe that if I hadn't gotten down to the feelings that I'd covered up with drugs and alcohol, I would not still be sober today. It took
me quite a few years to finally get here, but today I can honestly say that for the first time in my life, I really like the person that
I've become. In the end, I believe that's all that really matters.
The most important thing that I have learned in recovery is
"To Thine Own Self Be True".
