She's heading into town very well dressed really pretty and nicely spoken. Not getting out at the usual pub drop off and to make conversation I remark on this.
"Oh I'm going to an AA meeting"she offers.
I almost laugh thinking she is having me on but then the story unfolds as it so often does from the back seat of cab.
Turns out she had been dry for six months then a neighbour had dropped in and asked her if she needed anything from the shop. Without thinking she had said "Yeah get me a half bottle".
Two days later wakes up after a major bender with accompanying mayhem, kids removed to their Gran, house in chaos and back to square one.
I wish her all the best and kind of admire her for the effort she's making against what must be a long hard road.
