In 1996, I hit my bottom. I knew I couldn't stop drinking without going into seizures, so I went to my physician and 'fessed up. He admitted me to the hospital for detox and, unbeknownst to me, he worked with hospital substance abuse staff to obtain a scholarship for me for the 28-day inpatient rehab program. Underwrite-A-Recovery came through for me. On March 9, 2015, I celebrated my 19th year of sobriety. UAR is a huge part of that success. As I told the director a few months later, the 28-day rehab made all the difference in the world. Without it, I wouldn't have had time to "get with the program". I owe a debt of gratitude to UAR, the Share Unit of the now-defunct St. Luke's Hospital, to my Higher Power and to myself. I don't believe I'd be sober or maybe even alive without the generosity of the Underwrite-A-Recovery organization.
