Charleston, SC, Oct. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In I Lived Two Lives, Sheri Lynn shares a powerful narrative that reveals the emotional turmoil of living with an alcoholic partner. She never imagined her workplace would become a sanctuary, a place where she felt safe and “normal” for 8-9 hours each day. After 39 years, alcohol not only stole her husband but also her joy, replacing it with fear. By day, she was a compassionate RN, helping others fight their illnesses, while at night, she faced the haunting reality of her husband's addiction. Determined to persevere, she navigated the darkness, risking everything, including her own life.
Sheri Lynn's journey is a testament to resilience and the complexities of love intertwined with pain. The workplace transformed from a mere job into a refuge from chaos, illustrating the delicate balance between caring for a loved one and preserving one's own well-being. A flicker of hope guided her toward safety, yet the struggle was palpable. Her husband, aware of this light, seemed either too afraid to seek it or believed it would shine forever. Sadly, even the brightest lights can dim over time.
Key themes in I Lived Two Lives include:
- The quality of life as a caregiver and a partner to an alcoholic.
- The emotional toll of addiction on family dynamics.
