How to admit alcoholism to others
I'm just starting on my commitment to sobriety, and I've read that it's important to admit your problem to others, like your friends and family. I find this almost impossible to do. This thing has been my secret for so long, and I'm so ashamed--the thought of telling my parents fills me with panic. They would be so disappointed. I thought it might be easier to start here anonymously. If anyone has advice for how or if to open up to people about alcoholism, I'd love to hear it. I did talk to a doctor and he gave me some benzos--and even after taking Klonopin my heart is still racing and I feel on the verge of panic. I've only been sober for less than a day--but I'm desperate to quit.
