Judy, congrats again on your sober time and on admitting it. I knew deep inside that I was alcoholic but didn't admit it, when I did it was a relief. I have cried and cried and cried, I have not been able to stop at times, sometimes with family occasions (there are drinking attachments there). But I do not cry much now. I did have a few tears at an AA meeting (my first, of a second attempt there) the other night but not like I did a few years ago when I went to a couple of meetings.
I think there was a lot of held back emotion from my alcoholism and that didn't come out until I honestly faced it all. I am sure that it is healthy and normal.
With my family, I just did what I felt comfortable with, I came first and that was that.
Great to see you here!!
love brigid
