As a fellow man I’m so proud of you and how far you have come. I have nothing but respect for you my friend and thank you.” Nadia’s original caption reads: “I feel so emotional this morning … Seventeen years ago today my super smart, funny, kind, loving, tortured, talented husband @mark_adderley put down alcohol for good. For me. For his daughters. For all those that loved him. NOT for himself. He couldn’t for himself. Alcohol had unwittingly, right from his very first drink, been his medication for the agonies of Bi polar 2 and depression.
“Mark only got his diagnosis this year when he was told that he would have been trying to deal with his illness since he was five or six years old. It breaks my heart that alcohol became the answer for his emotional agony.
