The Double Life of Paola

I was excited when my husband got a job offer in the U.S. I thought maybe I could start a new life with our 6-month-old baby. Maybe things were going to change about my obsession to drink. Maybe everything finally would make some sense. I was a stay-at-home mom living a good life, taking care of my boy and having “fun.” But I was drinking alone and hiding it from everyone. I started to feel sicker and sicker, and I kept that secret too. I had a double life. How could I tell anyone? I didn’t know what was wrong with me.
