The Closet Alcoholic

She met him online.

She left a good, high-paying, high-profile job in California to marry him and live in a small Western town.

He was a prominent church-going doctor in the town.

But, he had a terrible secret.

He was a closet alcoholic.

And, in the third week of their marriage, he beat her....to within an inch of her life.

She lay in the hospital for a month and a half.

And, then, in a twist of fate...she became a closet alcoholic to escape the horrors of what she had lived through.

Her addiction was rampant; it affected every aspect of her life....

And, then she met a kind man...a friend...someone she could trust; not in a romantic relationship, but a mentor.

And, she is trying to get back on track, get back to her former strong, confident self.

With DM's help, she is likely to succeed.

She will no longer be a closet alcoholic.
