Twelve years ago my husband

formed the habit of drinking, and
it grew. These saloons were open
after business hours, and he would
drop in after working hours and
treat his friends. He began to
come home drunk. My tears and
pleadings were useless. for the
temptation was ever before him.
The habit brought business fail
