It fascinates me that some people are more ashamed of being sober than they are of being drunk.
Wow Rob, that's a great point thank you. I'm fighting acceptance right now. I've accepted there is a problem and I'm starting treatment. I was never the "classic" alcoholic that the media portrays most of the time so it's been a long road towards acceptance. The scary thing is is that it only progressed.
I am part of a very "sceney" circle of people in downtown Chicago. I am scared what people will think of me. This makes me feel like such a crazy person and damaged....
