Following My Gut into Sobriety

Roberta Edwards
Oct 26 · 8 min read

For many years I suspected that I had a drinking problem. I would lay awake countless mornings at 2:00 a.m. wondering if I was an alcoholic. Then one day I read somewhere that people who aren’t alcoholics don’t lay awake wondering if they are. It was then that the realization clicked, but I set out to deny it for many years to come.
