It is wrong and try (less and less now) to hide my AH behaviors from friends and family to avoide the embarrassment that it casues. It is a long process to change our way of thinking and it is one day at a time for us codies as well as the alcoholics. This is what I am learning. We fall off the wagon and get back on. new behaviros are not learned overnight just as or codie problems developed i am sure over years not overnight. It is a learning process and each day hopefully we move forward. i apologize but sometimes feel people are really harsh on this site. not to me, but to others that are looking for compasion. This disease is not easy on anyone and we all deserve compassion - we are all human and we all have differnt thoughts and opinions.
Gives us codies a break once in a while as we are learning. lol
