Elizabeth Vargas back in treatment-You Are Exactly Where You Are Supposed To Be...

When I wanted to want sobriety but wasn't ready to give up the drink, a woman who had what I wanted looked at me and said, "You are exactly where you are supposed to be at this moment."  I never forgot it.  There was something about her words that told me I wasn't all broken and that things might eventually be ok.  For anyone who has ever dealt with addictive behaviors you know that there is no cure for addictive tendencies.  It is daily work.  I have the disadvantage and advantage of having to start my day off being mentally, physically and spiritually fit and without those factors in balance all bets are off.   And I don't care what anyone ever threatened me with, death, drunk driving, the effects of drug abuse, etc., I wasn't going to be ready until I was really ready.  I had to have that last drink.  So Elizabeth Vargas, please don't feel like a failure.  We are all doing the best we can with what we have at each moment.  Thank you for being so public about your struggle to remind people that they too can do this!
