I'm a recovering alcoholic (563 Days), and my younger sister is currently in active alcoholism. Talking to her on the phone earlier was me speaking to myself from 3 years ago, it was so strange. It's heartbreaking, sobering (lol), and just freaking eerie

The literal same shit. I watched her be a drunk mess with her bf. I took her call where she's hysterical and slurring and dooming and mourning the loss of her relationship (they didn't even remotely break up) And I was able to talk at her how she was needed to be spoken to, spoke to her boyfriend, had them speak to one another, and kinda swept up the mess. It was like healing a situation of my own from years ago. So fucked up but kinda therapeutic as fuck 😬

Her boyfriend described her behaviors to me in detail and I was fucking SHOOK. She was JUST LIKE ALCOHOLIC ME I can't believe I didn't know how bad the problem was. I knew she was walking a fine line, but I haven't spent much time w her lately
