The book cover has more to do with my husband seeing the book and getting upset. He thinks there is nothing wrong with me and if I am reading this stuff it must be about him and how horrable he is. I know I need to get past that. He knows I have some of the books and even confronted me about them. (The language of letting go) and (codependent no more) To him those titles = I blame you and I am leaving.
As for other people knowing...... I let friends and family know I stopped drinking after about three weeks or so. I wanted to make sure I was realy on the path before I said anything. Now when people notice me drinking NA or pop and ask... I am honest and let them know I HAD TO STOP. I say it in front of my husband, I tell them It was out of controle and I was out of controle. Funny thing is if someone asks my husband..... he tells them I am trying to loose weight. I fined it funny that he is embarresed to tell them the truth. But then again..... he does see everything as a refection of or statement about him self.
