Show notes

Lucy Norfolk met Daniel backstage at a London theatre. He was funny, kind, the centre of every room. He was also, slowly, becoming an alcoholic.This is the story rarely told. Not the person in recovery. The partner watching it unfold. Lucy takes us through years of loving Dan: the hiding, the vodka behind the chair while she bathed, the first fit at the park in front of their children, the shattered hip at 38, the osteoporosis, the broken back, the day he turned yellow.Dan didn't make it out of the hospital. His heart, kidneys, and corneas saved three other lives.Lucy is sharing this so partners don't feel alone. So families know where to find help before it's too late. So the word 'alcoholic' stops being whispered.Connect with Lucy on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lucy_norfolk_/If you have been affected by this podcast here are some links to support you.https://www.cruse.org.uk/?s=alcoholhttps://al-anonuk.org.uk/https://www.wearewithyou.org.uk/https://www.actiononaddiction.org.uk/Connect with Soberdave on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/soberdave/And Vist my Website for more support: https://www.soberdave.co.uk/Show producer- Daniella Attanasio-MartinezInstagram - @TheDaniellaMartinezhttps://www.instagram.com/thedaniellamartinez/www.instagram.com/grownuphustle/ Hosted on Acast.
