Cruising around reading
I don't come here too often, but every time I do I remember the first time I did. My son had a serious problem with drugs and I told myself I was looking for help for him. Deep down I knew I had a problem with alcohol and this was a safe place to read what other alcoholics had to say. Those that were brave enough to actually post!
My son got sober in early 2007, but I didn't until last year. It felt good to come back here "out of the closet" and finally admit that I related to the things other people shared about their addictions. It felt good to read about struggles I share, and solutions I can learn from.
If you are here poking around because you wonder if you have a problem, I'm glad you are here. Hopefully this is the beginning of a journey of acceptance and hope for a better life for you. It is possible. And you deserve it.
