In time we lose the shame we felt about our previous ways
You would think after seeing someone you love turn into someone else that I wouldn’t do the same!
As anyone who has an alcoholic in their immediate family will know – it’s meant to be kept secret
The most upsetting part for me is knowing how unhappy he was and that he never found peace
‘When you pick up the phone, it’s not going to your boss, it’s not going to your mate. No one’s gonna laugh at you.’
I will never drink myself stupid.
The most surprising thing to me is just how many people think and feel exactly as I do and how it is all so closely linked to being a COA.
I am still haunted by those childhood memories of my father’s drinking.
I stood in silence next to her bed, experiencing a succession of emotions. Disappointment. Anger. Rejection.
Just to hear about the disease in a non-judgmental way and to be heard can end years of isolation and be profoundly healing.
