This reads so much like my own story. My husband also managed to hide his addiction for several years, and once the truth was out and he went through rehab, recovery was a long, hard process for all. He’s two years sober, and it’s painful but also helpful to read stories like this. The more people understand that addiction is something that can plague anyone, from any background or walk of life, the more compassion can be grown. We’re all human.

(“Even though our life was a lot of crazy,” says Carol, “there were times that were still functional. Decent. It wasn’t 100% insanity.) This hits so very close to home for me. My mother, who was so many things, was also an alcoholic. It killed her this past July and our last conversation was about how she wanted to start over and do it right. I’m glad Carol and Dan got their second chance and help each other move past this. Thank you for sharing.
