You found the right place. I have only been here since Saturday and I have told things here that no one in my real life knows about. I was a closet drunk, although I'm sure people could tell. I did everything I could to hide the true extent of my drinking and while it did improve over the last year - improvement meaning going from drinking one rum and coke after another starting at school drop-off and into the evening - to drinking about 1-1.5 bottles of wine a day. Last week, I went on vacation and overdid it, got drunk in front of my kids and that was it. The last straw, because they aren't in diapers anymore, and I knew they would start to realize mom was a drunk loser.
Anyhow, welcome...here's to a new healthy life!
