I have been looking forward to this since it was announced, been with Diablo since I was a kid. My partner went through a mental break down regarding their past traumas and fell deep into their alcoholism after 4 years of sobriety, I was devastated. Its been a tough few months but they are back on the Wagon, 20 days sober. However, our financial situation has yet to recover, and we're still feeling the aftershocks.
Ive been able to make time for myself again, no longer being as racked with worry and concern but sadly I still cant afford to get myself this expansion but would love to take part in the new season.
As for myself, my mental health took a turn for the worse, I was watching friends walk away, family distance themselves and I myself went to walk away more than once, but would always find myself coming back in the hopes I could get my partner of 6 years back.
The 20 days of sobriety has felt amazing, I felt like we have built better bonds, we're closer but that little worry in my brain is still there, and I think more healing is needed on my side. Ive been unable to play any games as ive been to down and out to enjoy them. Ive finally picked up my games again and have been enjoying them. Overwatch, Path of Exile, Diablo 2.
If I was to get the expansion i'd be making a Warlock, sitting down with my partner and enjoying my favorite hobby again.
Alcoholism is an awful thing and even a short burst can destroy lives. Take it from me, I dont drink and yet felt the effects of it deeply.
Thank you!
