I am Beth Livingston. I began drinking at age 12. Only my friends knew. By senior year in college, I tried every high that was offered and never got in trouble. I still got good grades; a functioning addict. By my 30s, I went to AA, but kept using. However, I did seek a relationship with Christ.

That made the difference - I am free today! This blog is for people to discuss whatever addictions or habits are hurting them, to exchange struggles and victories and to pray for each other.
