Kind of off topic, but fhl's post made me think of this. One thing that helped me to finally get sober was somebody telling me: "If you think you have a problem, then you probably do." It was like a light bulb went off in my head because it was like I was waiting for somebody to see what a mess I was and say something about it... but nobody did. I realized that I knew I was a mess and I needed to do something about it.
