Congratulations!

Congratulations on one week. That's really great and i really admire you being able to sit with other people drinking. That is something i just can't do and i tend to avoid any situation where i know there will be alcohol as I know i will be obsessed by it even if i succeed in not touching it. When i told my doctor that my husband couldn't believe that i was an "alcoholic" he said it was because people who are close to you often refuse to accept this becuase it makes it easier for them.I think too it's because so many people still have a very steretyped and wrong image of what an alcoholic is . I think if more people understood about the disease it wouldn't be so difficult trying to get help.
