Yulia: 5 years of binge drinking, loss of family and the path to homelessness

Yulia was once a successful, beautiful and educated woman. She had a job, a family, her own home and dreams for the future. But everything changed when in herlife has entered tightlyalcohol .

The beginning of destruction

It all started harmlessly - a glass of wine in the evenings after work to "relax". After a couple of years, it became a daily habit. Yulia began to be late for work, snapped at her colleagues, ignored household chores and began to lose touch with reality.

Loss of job and family

The first to fail was her job: constant sick leave, absences, slurred speech - Yulia was fired. Then her husband left, taking their child with him. The family tried to help, but she refused treatment and help.

Alcohol has become everything

Yulia's life turned into an endless series of binges, hangovers, temporary shelters and casual acquaintances, with whom she was united only by a bottle. In five years, she completely losthealth - refusedliver and kidneys, the face became covered with swelling and bruises, and the hair became brittle and thin.

Street

When she had no apartment, no documents, no money, Yulia found herself on the street. She became one of those we pass by, looking down. She sleeps on benches, eats scraps, begs for change from passersby.

What's next?

Today Julia isa shadow of herself. But even in this state she sometimes says: "I just wanted to be happy." ThisThe story is not just about her - it is a warning for anyone who thinks they can "control" alcohol.

Alcoholism spares no one. Remember that tonight.
