What an honest & heartfelt post, Vinny. It will help encourage many - I'm sure.
I was exactly where you were - drinking all day, & kept one on my nightstand so I wouldn't shake during the night if I woke up. Classy. I was sure nothing would ever be fun or exciting again. So pathetic. I'm very thankful we got free of it. Thank you for telling your story for others to benefit from. Praying for you & your mom.
