I Got on the Wagon
If I didn‘t get help I may have lost my daughters forever. That was the reason I sought treatment.I first began drinking at parties， dinners and other social gatherings. Then I began drinking on my own at home and work. I was fired from my job because I had lack of focus. I went on social assistance11 from the government.
My daughters saw the worst of me and began not to trust me. They would come home from school unsure of what they would find.They didn‘t know if I would be drunk or sober， angry or happy. he day my little girl pulled away from me when I went to hug her was the day I realized I had to get help for my problem.
I went to a center for alcoholics. Through the help of social workers， my children and I received living assistance and guidance. Now two years later， I am sober. If I ever feel like a drink， I just think of 25 my girls and remember how good it feels to hug them again.
戒酒記
如果我不求助，我將永遠失去我的女兒，這就是我尋求治療的原因。我一開始是在宴會、晚餐和社交聚會上喝酒，后來我開始在家中和工作場合喝酒。我因為注意力渙散，而被炒魷魚，之后便過著向政府領取社會補助的日子。
我女兒看到我最糟的一面，變得不信任我。她們從學�；丶�，不確定自己會看到什么景象，她們不知道我是酒醉還是清醒，生氣還是高興。有天當我想抱小女兒時，她卻掙脫，我才發(fā)現(xiàn)我需要求助，解決問題。
我到一家戒酒中心，通過社工的協(xié)助，孩子和我獲得生活的協(xié)助和指引。兩年后，我戒了酒。現(xiàn)在如果我想喝酒，我就會想到我的女兒，以及能夠再度擁抱她們是多棒的感覺。
