I was a pro at hiding it from my extended family or friends. I would never drink more than maybe a glass or two of wine when around them.
Around hubby however, I would get smashed constantly. Hubby started telling me about 3 to 4 years ago he was worried but he would never do more than that. It took me to decide to stop.
I probably would've stopped had someone sprung an intervention on me, in fact I was almost begging for one, I knew I had a problem but I didn't know how to stop.
Just celebrated my 6mos sober.
