"Advice on telling a friend that you are an alcoholic"
"Advice on telling a lover you are an alcoholic"
"How to tell people you are an alcoholic"
That's really what I made this thread for. I want people to give me advice on HOW to tell her tomorrow. One thing that I've seen you guys say is I have to make sure that she's not getting hurt in the process. I am capable of doing that.
the reason people on here have brought up amends Is because the word is in the title of the thread( I think that's why anyways).
amends- compensation for a loss, damage, or injury of any kind; recompense.
recompense-make restitution for damages or injuries.
it reads like yer goin in this just to let the cat out of the bag- to say basically,"hey I was drunk all the time and lied like crazy and im sorry."
if that's the case, I wish you the best of luck.
if you understood
why you did those things and what you have done to change, then met up or sent a letter, IMO that would be better for ya.
but now you've changed it to how to tell her your an alcoholic.why does she need to know?
I am thinkin ya may have a motive you aren't aware yet.
