Nov 2013

my ex had to pick my drunk, sobbing, half naked ass up off the floor and take me to the er so i could check myself into the hospital.

my husband has also hit bottom. i had to jimmy the bathroom door because he'd locked himself in there with a knife and was threatening to slit his wrists. i wound up calling 911 and the cops took him to the hospital.

hitting rock bottom sucks, sometimes it's necessary, but i hope you can turn this around before you do.

are you still taking your walks? that really seemed to help you.
