Such an open, honest and empathetic take on what you’ve experienced, observed and reflected upon….

I’m similar but alcohol is so embedded in the Caribbean and Latin culture I didn’t grow up hearing the word “addiction” —it was simply accepted as normal behavior: that of excessive drinking. It bothered me from the time I was a young child.

Thanks for opening up and sharing what’s on your mind. I’m pulling for your brother and do hope he’ll choose to seek the help he needs. Much love to you!
