It made me feel like I was going completely mad, because it was just this never-ending cycle of drink panic, drink panic, drink panic, which I just couldn't step out of. It felt impossible, and that's what, in the end, really built up, because my children were growing and I was starting to miss out on time with them, and that really really broke my heart, and that's what led me to seek sobriety.
