This is the first of many telephone interviews to come on AA Just For
Today. In this interview, Dan discusses alcoholism and new-found
sobriety with Cindy G., a wife and mother of two teenage children. A
self-proclaimed party girl in her younger years, Cindy didn't begin
drinking regularly until her middle years. She's had suspected she
might have a problem a couple years ago. It wasn't until a recent
blackout which her son had to point out, Cindy realized she had too
