Sober 12 years since 1/6/2013, Meg's was raised in a funny, loud family that loved to drink and laugh.
But that drama often became a problem.
"With humor in my family came power and approval and attention."
Her drinking started to be a problem after her children were born.
Then came many years of clues that she had a real problem.
She "audited" AA from the back of the room but, finally, her drinking caused an embarrassing situation that compelled her into AA for real.
