Thank you, for reminding me what it's like 'out there'.
We're all here to help you. Many of us share your experience. And to the new comer you have helped by sharing your struggle and letting them know they're not alone in this.
I understand. I've been there.
Here's to no steps back. You can do it. If this chronic, functioning and later non-functioning drunk can do it so can you. I was a bad drunk at the end. Ten years later, I'm not.
You do have a fighting chance. There are ways out of addiction, you just have but use them. You're not alone.
