Stories of Addiction

Betty

Betty is a retired addiction counselor and alcoholic who has been in long term recovery for 49 years. Betty tells the story of her experience as a young mother living with a husband who also was an alcoholic. After a long period of time covering up their addiction, things came to a breaking point when she was admitted to a psychiatric ward. From there, Betty's life began to change for the better. For more information, contact Professor Ayers-Lanzillotta at 631-851-6594 or at ayersk@sunysuffolk.edu  If you need help, contact Long Island Council on Alcoholism & Drug Dependence
