After Audrey Kishline founded Moderation Management, she realized that she could not moderate her drinking after all, so she returned to AA but relapsed, and in 2000 drove the wrong way down the highway while highly intoxicated, crashing into another vehicle head-on and killing its passengers: a man and his 12-year-old daughter. She spent about 3 years in jail.
I had to look this up, LvL, it seemed unbelievable, but is true. What is unbelievable to me is she only served 3.5 years for killing 2 people while drunk.
I love AA but didn't get the lingo, the hierarchy was too old school for me. I revere what those guys did with the 12 steps and all. But I got "sober"/"clean" with www.NA.org. Yes, alcohol IS a drug.(period!)as they like to say. If you tried over 6 AA meetings and didn't get it, try NA - which stands for Narcotics Anonymous. It speaks - the literature - more to the obsession and compulsion and self-esteem issues that compound the usage of a controlled or uncontrolled substance. It's speaks specifically to emotional habits such learning to replace the Neggative with the Positive Resentment Past Acceptance Anger Present Love Fear Future Faith
And the literature is free oh http://www.na.org/?ID=ips-eng-index
This one is from the Triangle of Obsession. and you can always phone them directly to find out more.
Peace, blessings, healing, growth and serenity to you now and in the new years to come.

I do not recommend this book.

I know somebody who killed a few people in a similar fashion, she served about 4 years.
If only they'd crash their cars into seas of alcoholic santas! Win! Win!
Yup- Don't drink & drive & boy do I hate the fuck out of Santacon.
