In one of the Alcohol Awareness Classes I took, I learned that alcohol was cunning, baffling, and powerful. At first, I didn't know what they meant, but as I kept having to go back their words began to sink in. I now know that my mind is often working against me. Even when I'm not aware of it, sometimes my mind is making decisions that leads me to drink. Often, I can't figure out how I ended up with the bottle in my hand even after my head has cleared a few days later. It really is a bit of black magic. What I'm glad about though, is that through these classes I can learn more about how I work as an alcoholic. And that's a term I'm more comfortable calling myself these days. I have a problem with alcohol. The biggest being my mind is cunning, baffling, and powerful when it comes to getting me to drink.

I had to take Drug Education Classes as part of a court ordered mandate to get my record expunged. It has been a long process getting to this point but I can finally see a bit of light at the end of the tunnel. I got in trouble a couple of years ago with a prescription painkiller. I was taking it for the pain in my back and got hooked. Then the doctor switched me to another medication after I refused to have another surgery. He said that I was addicted to the pills. I told him that I was and it was because he helped me get there. I would do the, "I dropped my pills in the toilet" routine with him and beg for refills before they were due. When I could not legally get them anymore, I started to buy them from other sources. First I got them from friends and family. Then they came from the street. Then I got arrested and went through rehab. Now I am drug free and just need to complete this educational course and I will no longer be under the thumb of the court.

I was having a really difficult time last year. I lost my job, I got dumped by my boyfriend, and I didn't really have any friends because I had moved to a new town. I ended up drinking a lot, on the weekends at first, and then every day. There is a history of alcoholism in my family, so I started to be afraid that I was going to have an alcohol addiction problem.

I started looking for help for my problems. I started looking for a job, and I tried meeting up with different new people so that I had someone to talk to. I started going to California Alcohol Awareness Classes so I would be careful with my alcohol intake, and I stopped buying alcohol even though it seemed to temporarily make me feel better. Months later, I have a job and I am doing much better, so it was all worth it.

My ex-fiance Tyler has a horrible addiction to alcohol. When we first met things started off great. As time passed we became engaged to be married. We were happy and I just thought that Tyler liked to have fun. But eventually things stated to go downhill. As we got closer to our impending wedding date, Tyler started hanging out with his friends more than usual. He would stay out all night and come home smelling like alcohol. When he did stay home he would drink so much alcohol that he would pass out. I had no idea how to handle his heavy drinking. I loved him and wanted everything to workout but I didn't know how to make it work. Just one month before our scheduled wedding date Tyler was arrested for DUI. I was devastated so I broke off our engagement. It was hard to do at first but I believe that it was for the best. Tyler did not receive any jail time because it was his first offence. He was placed on probation and forced to attend Alcohol Awareness Classes. Tyler and I still talk several times per week and I have noticed a positive change in him since he started attending those alcohol awareness classes. Those classes have forced him to deal with the reality of how alcoholism affects everyone involved. I recommend these type of classes to those that are seeking help with alcohol addiction.
