Wanted to encourage those guest to join the site and the conversation!
I think many people are just not ready to admit they are out of control or maybe they dont want to share their stories yet. They will, hopefully, get to that point eventually, but it takes time. I know when I realized I was in over my head, I did a lot of researching online and scanning forums like this one, but never joined. I didnt join this until 2 years after quitting drinking.
