My truth

My truth

I am an alcoholic and I am severely depressed 😔

i cannot rely on family as they don’t know and don’t care anyway. My husband and daughter sense that there is something wrong but I admit it to them because I feel that I have failed them. Just telling you is s massive step for me and I don’t know what I am supposed to do next on this journey

@Faith-and-Hope@Former-Member@Sophia1@outlander@frog@Bill16 and anybody who is listening 👂

Giving you all love and hugs 🤗 just need some advice or guidance xoxo 💐❤️

Re: My truth

Hey guys ..... 👋

@Nay69, I think Incan see what is a bit confusing .... @TAB is very good with word games and puns and has a very broad general knowledge ...... the monkeys eating the rotting fruit is a reference to fruit fermenting and creating alcohol, and in the wild many animals, including or perhaps especially monkeys, get drunk on it when they eat it. There was just a bit of word-play in there.

I hope everybody is okay ..... and @TAB, your lived experience in this area is very valuable ..... @Nay69 seems to understand that there was a bit of a communication glitch, so please stay .....
