I'm with Chy on that one. This is something I do not want people to know about me, unless I choose to tell them (and that is almost never). I've heard comments that people make about alcoholics, especially female alcoholics, and we're only slightly above child-predators in the eyes of many 'normal' folks.
I hope that one day, people will be educated, and become understanding of addiction, but until then I'll remain anonymous.
Love, Anna
