Hi sobreia - I'm sorry you drank but I'm glad you found us again
I haven't admitted the extent of my problem to family and friends - probably because I still haven't fully admitted it to myself... I feel like such a failure.
Failure for having to quit drinking you mean?
I had to turn that idea around - accepting my problem and doing something about it was absolutely the best thing I ever did for myself.
I've allowed myself to grow, I do so much more with my life, and I feel free, not trampled down and imprisoned anymore.
My friends - my real friends - supported me.
Drinking again and again when I knew the cost to myself , valuing what others thought over what I knew was right for me - if anything here could be called a failure? that might be it.
