If alcohol addiction is a family "affair", healing is for life. Thanks for this courageous post, Matt.

“That taste for alcohol doesnt go away”, this resonated with me. Even though ive never been an alcoholic. I once fell deeply in love with a man I shouldnt have and I became unhealthily obsessed with him. It took me years to “get over him” and it was only until this year that i am starting to feel like it doesnt haunt me anymore. But every now and then some thoughts still creep into my head. Sometimes i fantasize but lately its a lot easier to reject those thoughts. I have made peace with the reality that ill probably have to reckon with that former obsession every now and then, perhaps for my lifetime or at least a very long time.

Kudos to you and your journey. May the weight be a little lighter with every passing day!
