Sober 19 years since 11/22/1976, a former Alateen, her mother has 23 years in AA.
Lexi swore off alcohol at age 9 and meant it "down to the very roots of my toes."
She was kicked out of school.
"I was a horseback-riding, tomboy, with an attitude and a filthy mouth."
She drank alcoholically for 4 years, spent many weeks in treatment and finally came in very unwillingly to the program in her 20's.
She made three major relationship mistakes in AA that shows some of her strong Al-Anon tendencies staying with two of them while they were still using heavily.
She came within "seconds and inches" of taking a drink until she got back in and active in AA.
