Big hugs to you! Have you made a plan?
Not a formal one... going to get an appt tomorrow with a suggested therapist. Made quite a mess of my life, and haven't addressed that at all. Just let the bottle be my counselor. I have given up hope, and use that as an excuse. But I think this time I need to face it, no matter how painful it is.
