She describes the helplessness and situational depression that overshadowed her life, making it difficult to connect with others or find joy. But Barbara's story doesn't end in despair. She recounts how discovering Al-Anon, a support group for families and friends of alcoholics, became her lifeline. Through Al-Anon, Barbara learned to set boundaries and take responsibility for her own happiness.
