A Personal Struggle with Alcoholism
Diane Dallman is a lifelong resident of Marshfield who worked for Marshfield Clinic for many years and now has a small business of her own. She began her presentation by saying, “My name is Diane, I am an alcoholic, and today I am free. And I am so grateful to be where I am today.” Since becoming sober, Diane has been sharing her message of hope and recovery with others. Everyone she talks to, she says, has been touched by someone with this disease. She says that although she is not an expert on alcoholism, she has had the opportunity to help a lot of people with the affliction. Her own struggle, involving multiple sessions of treatment and promises made and broken, lasted 11 years. Now with 14 years of sobriety behind her, Diane said she is still just one drink away from being back where she once was.

“I do things, every single day, to live a life of sobriety,” she said. She reads something every day from the literature of alcoholism and recovery. She also regularly attends meetings of AA and other organizations. She spoke of the various 12 step programs of these organizations and she swears by them. She lives by them daily. Family and friends of alcoholics who are too sympathetic, she said, may actually be enablers. They must learn the art of detachment, she said, to let the alcoholic feel their pain. And we must do all we can to encourage (or even force) the alcoholic to acknowledge the problem and to seek help.
