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.
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，後來我開始在家中和工作場合喝酒。

I was fired from my job because I had lack of focus. I went on social assistance from the government daughters saw the worst of me and began not to trust me.
我因爲注意力渙散，而被炒魷魚，之後便過着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。

她們從學校回家，不確定自己會看到什麼景象，她們不知道我是酒醉還是清醒，生氣還是高興。

The 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 ugh the help of social workers, my children and I received living assistance and guidance.
有天當我想抱小女兒時，她卻掙脫，我才發現我需要求助，解決問題。我到一家戒酒中心，通過社工的協助，孩子和我獲得生活的協助和指引。

Now two years later, I am sober. If I ever feel like a drink, I just think of my girls and remember how good it feels to hug them again.
兩年後，我戒了酒。現在如果我想喝酒，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。
