Last night I watched a UK documentary, 'Rain in my Heart' on BBC iPlayer. It is about alcoholism and follows four individuals.
It made me extremely sad to see these people battling what we are all still fighting/have fought so far.
I saw myself in their habitual behaviour, drinking upon waking, losing family, hurting others, becoming ill.
Whilst some parts were pretty uncomfortable viewing, I am glad I got through the programme because I never, ever want to go back to the utter misery this poison brings to our lives, and how it dissolves everything around us.
I had no idea that cirrhosis can still be so progressive that it can be deadly for even 10 years after being dry.
Sending my support to everyone on here.
This is a very hard fight and I appreciate all the amazing support on SR.
