I am so sorry you went through that too.
We can be awfully hard on ourselves hey?
I hope progress goes the right way for you... like Gottalife said, do you see an answer to keep yourself on a healthier or track, or at least a better path.
I am grateful for your posts, but I sure don't like hearing any of our SR family labeling themselves a "cautionary tale" because like Gal says, we don't get to choose when the end of the road is.
I hope you treat yourself kindly. And let's work together to not drink? I am glad you are here.
