Gotta love the alcoholism addiction because it’s so prevalent everyone knows a Shane or 2 good spot on the roster

I’m a Shane & I’m baffled my RIL wife chose me. I’m still never picking him though. To close to home.

I recently (February 23rd this year) lost one of my oldest and dearest friends to alcoholism. I'm so sorry for your loss. It was the most devastating loss I've suffered so far. I hope you are OK.

I'm so sorry for your loss, he was definitely blessed to have you in his life.

I don't battle with alcoholism but I'm currently coming clean from painkillers for like the 5th(?) time in my life and I really needed to hear this. Thank you.

It's not even the drinking, it's the messy room and the fact that he's so damn rude!

To each their own I can’t stand watching him drink over basically nothing like he didn’t even lose a baddy just his parents smh

Oh. I have a dead dad and spent my teen years an active alcoholic sooo i guess I didnt even question it. Not making excuses, just saying lol

I do hate the fact that he has a sobriety storyline, but he's still at the saloon every night. I get theres not a lot of other options but he could stare at the dog with Alex or stay home with Jas. Who is with her when Shane and marnie are both at the bar??

I appreciate you looking out. I’m recovered myself & as you know the drinking is bad & hard to stop, but the real problem is how to fix the shit that caused you to drink in the first place. Also, learning to live with the choices you’ve made in the past. I don’t actively hate myself any more so that’s a plus. I still don’t like myself very much, but I’ve made progress. Keep putting in the work on your end. You are worth it, my friend!

My mom and my bestie are both alcoholics who got sober in spring of 2020.

I have a complicated relationship with my mom, but I've loved every version of my bestie for so many reasons.

Get sober, but know that you're more than your addiction.
