I am an alcoholic desperately trying to stay sober.  I also have a lifelong history of depression which I self-medicated with alcohol and pills.  I am now in a serious funk.  My ex-husband (whom I continued to be in a relationship with, we'd been together 20 years) just informed me that he's seeing other women and he went out of town last week with his first wife.  I feel very betrayed and hurt and devastated.  I thought we'd be together forever.  I also fractured both my feet (yes, both) in the last 3 months when I was drunk and fell.  I still have extreme swelling and find it very difficult to walk.  I am unable to work (due to my feet) but desperately need the money.  I have alienated my children due to my addiction.  I am supposed to have surgery on one of my feet, but need to get a referral to a specialist.  I just feel it's going to be a very sad Christmas.
