Article: Surviving an alcoholic

Just chanced upon this (looking for a poem completely unrelated to anything in the article) but found it very interesting, and although sad, also conveying a message of hope...

Thanks so much for posting this. My AH died of cirrhosis. I can relate to much of this. The kids and I are checking out a grief group soon and I'm very nervous.
