I was 30 days sober, and I was pretty sure I wasn\u2019t going to make it to day 31.<\/p>\n

I dug my nails into my mattress and squeezed my eyes shut. One minute I\u2019d been folding laundry in my bedroom, the next I\u2019d been overtaken by a craving for alcohol so strong, I had to cling for dear life to my bedsheets.<\/p>\n

I thought I\u2019d already experienced every withdrawal symptom possible. The shakes, nausea and headaches. But this was the worst one yet. Not a dream. A vision that played out before me like a scene from a movie. I saw myself as a thirsty golden retriever, frantically lapping up liquid from a golden lake that sparkled like diamonds. A lake filled with Chardonnay. My drink of choice. Or maybe I should say I\u2019d lost the ability to choose. I was like that thirsty dog. No choice.<\/p>\n

I took a deep breath and tried to remember everything I\u2019d learned in my outpatient treatment program. \u201cGo home, don\u2019t drink, come back tomorrow.\u201d That\u2019s what my sponsor kept telling me. Those seven words had become my mantra whenever I had a craving, which was all <\/em>the time. But what on earth were you supposed to do when you started seeing yourself as a dog drinking from a bottomless lake of Chardonnay?<\/p>\n

Part of me knew it was just my disease talking to me. That, on a subconscious level, I wanted to drink so badly that I conceived of myself as a thirsty golden retriever. But another part of me was scared to death. Was I going crazy? I was supposed to be getting better, not worse! Was I one step away from ending up like my father?<\/p>\n

My dad had always been a heavy drinker. I was just a freshman in college when he died of liver disease at the age of 54. Even though he was an alcoholic, as I realized now, he was still a good dad. My rock. The one person who really got me. So when he died, I turned to the one thing that made me feel closer to him\u2014alcohol.<\/p>\n

By the time I was in my 20s, my occasional social drinking had turned into a bottle-of-wine-a-day habit\u2014and sometimes a glass or two more. I was building a successful career in advertising. The perfect cover for a budding alcoholic and an overachiever like me. In my field, it was normal to start drinking at noon. Nobody blinked an eye if I downed a few glasses of wine at lunch with colleagues.<\/p>\n

Things got worse when I went through my divorce. I drank more. Sometimes I didn\u2019t quite remember going to bed. I still didn\u2019t see myself as an alcoholic, though. I was thriving in my career, raising two young daughters and maintaining a beautiful home. Alcoholics slept in doorways and drank out of paper bags, right?<\/p>\n

One morning, nursing my daily hangover, a voice popped into my head<\/a>: \u201cMary, you\u2019re one glass of Chardonnay away from losing everything.\u201d My kids, my job, my home. The voice scared me, really scared me. The idea of losing my girls was too much. I sought treatment.<\/p>\n

People at rehab were always talking about \u201cGod shots,\u201d those moments of divine intervention in the midst of recovery. I knew the voice that popped into my head could\u2019ve only come from God. As much as I wanted to believe he cared for me on a real, personal level, though, where was he when I really needed him? Like when I had a hallucination about drinking from a lake of Chardonnay? Was I having the DTs? Was I losing my mind?<\/p>\n

I got up from my bed and paced the room. I drew in a deep breath and released it. Again and again. With every breath, I imagined just a little something to take the edge off. I\u2019d long since thrown out every bottle of alcohol in the house, even my vanilla extract, as well as my crystal stemware. But my keys were on the kitchen table, my car was in the driveway and the liquor store was less than a mile away. I didn\u2019t need a wineglass. I could drink straight from the bottle. Nobody would ever have to know.\u2026<\/p>\n

My hands shook. I picked up the phone and dialed my sponsor. \u201cCome on, pick up, pick up,\u201d I said. No answer. I dialed the number of one of my rehab friends. No answer. I called another friend. And another. No one was there! I sat back on my bed and did the last thing I could think of. I prayed<\/a>. The only word that came to mind was \u201chelp.\u201d<\/p>\n

It happened just like in the first vision. A scene playing in slow motion, like an IMAX film projected onto my brain. This time I saw an old man lying on the floor of a cavern. He\u2019d been shot. A younger version of the man, dressed in khakis and a beatup fedora, crouched by his side. The man\u2019s son. He knew how to save his father, but first he had to go through a series of deadly tests to prove himself. Finally, he reached the edge of a canyon. Across the chasm was the source of his father\u2019s healing\u2014the Holy Grail. It was impossible to jump across such a great distance, though. He was only human.<\/p>\n

Then it dawned upon him. \u201cIt\u2019s a leap of faith.\u201d The man put his hand to his chest, momentarily paralyzed by fear, and made a decision. He extended his left leg and took a step into the void. He fell forward, seemingly to his death. But a stone bridge appeared, making his footing sure. He took another step and another. Crossing the abyss\u2026<\/p>\n

The vision was gone as quickly as it had come. I blinked. It was so bizarre, but I\u2019d seen it before! It was the final act of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. <\/em>Of all the movies in the world, why had I seen that one? I wasn\u2019t a fan of action flicks or even Harrison Ford. I\u2019d seen the movie once, about 15 years earlier. So how on earth did I remember it so clearly? So vividly? And what was I meant to do with it? Was it a message from God or just another sign that my mind was going?<\/p>\n

Except for one thing. One amazing thing. My craving for alcohol was gone. Lifted. I curled up in bed, exhausted, and fell into a deep sleep. After I woke up, my sponsor called back. \u201cIt\u2019s okay,\u201d I said. \u201cI\u2019m okay now. I got through it.\u201d I didn\u2019t tell her about the visions. How could I? She\u2019d think I was crazy if I told her my mind was playing scenes from Indiana Jones!<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so proud of you, Mary,\u201d she said. \u201cYou fought back against your disease. Good for you!\u201d<\/p>\n

I guess. But how much longer could I keep going like this? I was terrible at being sober. What if next time I wasn\u2019t saved by some weird scene from an old movie?<\/p>\n

I hung up the phone, got some snacks from the kitchen and plopped back on my bed. I just needed to get through the night. I turned on the TV, flipped the channel\u2026and almost fell off the bed.<\/p>\n

On the screen was the same exact scene, to the second, that had played before me hours before. The scene that finally convinced me to put my trust in my higher power. The scene that I still turn to today, 13 years of sobriety later.<\/p>\n
