There's more, Gma, who raised me from 8 years old, when my mom was killed by a cop in Tacoma, she passed away and I had to help her through her dying days. It was wild to watch someone die slow. I've seen people die quickly before but not from slow hospice care.
That didn't help the drinking.
For 3 months I was the worst version of myself I could imagine
But I started AA, and an alcohol medication called naltrexone.
It's the best day I've had in awhile. Seems to help.
God Bless.
