I wish Debbie the best of luck, she’s armed with things to look out for, how to respond etc.
FNF – I can totally relate. Whilst I have my clean husband back, I’m damaged. I can’t forget what I lived through. I’m honestly far better off now that I was 3 years ago, that’s for sure. But the scars are still there, the worry about relapse is real, my brain is constantly thinking about how to avoid social gatherings. I often have family over for lunch, because I feel there’s less expectation to drink alcohol, everything I do I think/worry about it. I think it’s borderline ptsd, certain things trigger certain thoughts and I’m highly anxious.
I would hope that because Debbie hasn’t had to live through too many years of this, that she may not have the same long term effects?
Enjoy Spain Faith, and we’ll be thinking of you this weekend Debbie xx
