Josh Guffey shares a friend’s story—betrayal, alcoholism, and suicidal thoughts. Not gossip: a study in damage, boundaries, and rebuilding.

CW: Infidelity; alcohol misuse; suicidal ideation; explicit language

When trust blows apart, the shrapnel hits everyone. Josh brings a close friend’s experience (shared with consent) of infidelity, self‑deprivation, and alcohol misuse—and the mental health wreckage that followed. We talk accountability without humiliation, boundaries that protect kids, and how to rebuild without rewriting the past.
