I don't know you and you don't know me but we struggle with our addictions and they do creep up. You having bipolar makes it a 1000 times harder on you. And yeah, AA can be a bit preachy. But the other disease, alcoholism is back and it's time to do what you know you need to do. Alcoholics live or die by the bottle, that damn bottle.

I'm sorry this is happening to you. My co-madre has bipolar and addictive issues so I see everyday what she goes through. I feel nothing but respect for her. And I hold hope for you.

If you can, be kind to yourself, as you've been given a very hard double slam.
