Hey, thanks everyone for your input. I guess I just got the impression that everyone I talked to seemed to think I needed too. I don't feel they need to know. I will probably just tell them I decided to stop drinking and doing drugs, to get my priorities straight and be an example to my addicted sibling who currently is not doing well as I said in my OP and other ppl who look up to me in my life, like my nieces, etc. It's just a huge, scary comitment to completely stop everything, esp since I have never had issues with drinking or psychedelics. But my life has gone to **** and I gotta fix it. Gotta grow up eventually anyways... and the longer I wait to face this stupid addiction, the harder it will be. Thanks again everyone! I feel wayyy better not telling my family, atleast for now.
