Help me help myself.

I am very aware of what alcoholism can do. I truly believe that before it is an addiction, it is a disease.
A disease that runs rampant and not only ruins the host but everyone close and afar.
I don't condone the victim because it is too sad as it is; they are already so alone.
I embrace the host and the victim because It is one and of the same.

Your mistakes and imperfections have been hard to swallow but here we are.
No one is perfect and no one can say they live as a saint.
I am only happy that you are here.
Truly, I am.
