  • I wish I heard this sooner

    My wife has recently has broken her 10 year sobriety with alcohol, and it’s been a very quick downfall, something I’ve never seen before. We have a toddler daughter, and everything that was talked about hit me so hard and was helpful and spot on. I love her, and I hate the disease. I really wish I heard this sooner
