Writer Meghan O'Gieblyn has published a candid personal essay describing how she secretly relapsed into alcoholism after 11 years of sobriety, hiding it so completely that even her husband did not know. In the piece she reflects on having 'perfected deception' the second time around, contrasting it with her first period of addiction, which people around her knew about.
Why now: The essay's striking honesty about concealing a relapse from loved ones is resonating with readers discussing addiction and recovery.
