"From Pain to Peace: My Recovery from Addiction"

"I roll to my side in search of my liquor, a sense of despair looms; my bottle looks empty.  I grab the hefty 60 ounce bottle of Bombay Sapphire gin and pray that there may be just enough left for one shot. Thank God there is.  I drain every last drop of the alcohol in my mouth savouring the burn on my tongue and the brief feelings of relief that arise.  This was my daily scenario as I approached the end of my drinking career" - Ishaq Malik
