Annie finds herself paired with someone losing a battle to
alcohol abuse. Their relationship goes from happy to a state of constant sacrifice,
avoidance, being subjected to aggression and eventually puts her in a position
where her only choice is to leave.
Annie references Turning Point (Turnpt.org) for assistance
in exiting a dangerous situation and The Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration (samhsa.gov) that makes info, research and services
more accessible to those in need. There is always hope!
“Annie” is an alias and the only pictures on the Instagram
account shows a inspirational book she strongly suggests; The Woman They
Could Not Silence by Kate Moore and a picture of Vasquez played by Janette
Goldstein because the episode was recorded on her birthday…and she is a bad-ass
woman just like Annie!
They can be seen along with other pictures supporting
previous stories on Instagram @troubledhandspodcast
