I can relate to your story. When we drink alcoholically, NOTHING is more important than our drink. Family, friends, etc. I have been sober over a year now after drinking about 15 shots of vodka per night, plus a couple beers. By wife thought I just had a couple beers every night. But she didn't know I was sneaking vodka in there too. I finally broke down, and told my wife and parents. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired.
I did not go to re-hab, but I did have a full analysis by a trained professional and I told her I would follow her recommendation because I was willing to do ANYTHING to get my life back. She told me to try AA and see what I thought. Well, I have been going to AA for over a year and haven't had a drink since my first meeting.
I know you will find great support here. Keep reading and learning. We really truly can and do recover. Glad you are here.
