Monica..please contact me....
Karen, I don't know Monica. But I hope, for your sake, she comes to your aid. I am so sorry for your situation.
My brother was an alcoholic and it caused his death. Indirectly. He drank to get drunk every day. And he was a bartender. Woke up in the morning with a headache. Start drinking again until the pain was gone, then go to work. Ends up he had a brain tumor. When they found it, it was the size of a softball. Gave him six months to live. He lasted 3 weeks.
I am sorry, but to get back on track. Do you belong to a local AA group? Is there anyone there you can call? I am glad you sought out the assistance of Monica, because that shows you really want to stop it.
My prayers are with you.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!
