Reborn at 53: Elizabeth's Redemption from a Life of Addiction

I’m 60 years old. I believe I was born an addict, that it’s a genetic disorder that runs in families. I started drinking to excess from my very first drink at about age 15 and kept it up for decades. At 48 (believe it or not) I was given my first shot of gear and thought I’d finally discovered god. From the very beginning I did anything and everything to maintain my using. I ended up at 53, totally broken and begging for help. After many false starts, I’m finally clean and sober. Have been since April 2017.
