The
so describes me.
Back on topic, my first attempts at sobriety I told no one. I now see this as giving myself permission to relapse, especially when I travel out of town which I do often. This of course led to a relapse.
On each successive attempt at Sobriety, I opened up a little bit and told family and friends. Now that I finally "got it", I will tell anybody, if it comes up, that I am a sober member of alcoholics anonymous. I am proud of that and won't let anyone or anything threaten my sobriety.
