Hey guys!! There’s not a lot of editing on this video. It may seem choppy. This was very difficult for me to post and be open about but I feel in my heart of hearts that I need to put this out there and let others know that recovery is possible and that there is no shame in addiction or my past. Please let me know if you have any questions or just want someone to talk to. If you are struggling please utilize the information I have listed below, or feel free to message me on IG.

IF YOU HAVE LOVED ONES STRUGGLING WITH ADDICTION/ALCOHOLISM:
PLEASE consider going to Al-Anon! This is a free, fully anonymous program for NON ADDICTS affected by the disease. Basically, if a toll is being taken on your life in any way due to a struggling addict in your life (Rather it be your partner, brother, sister, mom, grandpa, friend, etc) this program is made for you. It's a place you can go that helps you heal from any pain, let go of any resentments, gain knowledge about why things have happened in your relationship with the addict, etc. It is not a place for addicts, but a place for the loved ones of addicts. This place does not work around making a victim out of the addict. You do not even have to have the addict in your life currently or ever again to truly benefit from this program. These meetings are always locally run, and some flow better than others based on your personality. I'd highly suggest googling Al-Anon (NOT AA, this is different) meetings in your area and attending one, and if you don't like it, try another one the next time you're free. I have heard nothing but amazing comments from people who have attended. It truly helps you understand what is happening in the addicts brain, and provides you with a safe understanding environment so share and heal. And if you have been affected by an addict, you absolutely deserve clarity and to heal.
