Well do what you need to do. I'm not sure that you or any of us really have anything to hide or be ashamed of. We're alcoholics, we have a disease (
The Institute For Addiction Study) we're getting treatment and we're recovering. This is no more shameful than hepatitis II or many other diseases fuilled by lifestyle choices. I'm an alcoholic in recovery and damn proud of it. I'm not going to flaunt it, but I'm not going to deny myself support because of it, either. You take care and I hope you keep posting. If you got a nosey neighbor he or she may have a secret they're trying to find out answers for.
